Ishtar's Bellydance Class Information

"Bellydance classes are all one hour long. They consist of technique, flexibility exercise, choreography, and trance dance, floor work, dancing with props (Zills, veil and canes). Occasionally, there is meditation and visualisation. There is a really warm, inclusive, non-judgemental and friendly atmosphere in the classes. Bellydance Classes in Claughton

I believe people learn better in an encouraging and friendly environment. As I am also a psychology teacher, I understand how to use relevant teaching methods to create maximum absorption and retention of dance information. With twelve years experience as a professional bellydancer, I can help students to attain a very professional level.

Little Supple

My Nana ‘Little Supple' was a professional dancer with her own school. She made a lot of interesting and artistic developments in dance. I learnt my first dance moves from her."
