Private tuition
If our times do not suit your schedule why not consider a private class. This is available for students of all levels, you do not have to be of a particular level to have a private class, in fact one private lesson is equivalent to 5 individual group lessons!!!
A private class consists of just the student and teacher, a one on one intensive lesson where the student dictates the class. Prior to booking you will have an online consultation with your instructor where you can pick and choose techniques and styles you would like to study so at the end of your session you achieve your exact goal.
You can also share your private lesson with other people of the same level as you, together we can structure a class to suit your needs whether that be technique, original choreography, teaching techniques etc.
Some options are:
Bellydance - Technique, choreography, turns/spins, footwork and travel work, fusion work, mastering props such as veil, finger cymbals, sword, saidi cane, isis wings, shamadan and folkloric Egyptian styles.
Other fusion work in - Flamenco, Latin, Contemporary, Funk, Hip-Hop, Bollywood
Private lessons may be conducted in our studios or in your home. Depending on your time availability and location.
We also offer WEDDING PACKAGES
Brides and Bridesmaids
Multiple lessons for the bride and bridesmaid leading up to the wedding. This could be choreographing a simple bellydance routine to showcase at the reception. A fun way to introduce a party atmosphere to the wedding guests.
Bride and Groom Waltz
Don't know how to dance as a couple? Have no idea how to make your dance interesting? It doesn't matter what type of music you are into we can organise a shared private with a male and female dance instructor to teach and choreograph something special for your wedding waltz.
We have choreographed wedding waltzes from the very classical to romantic Arabic pop music. Whatever your song choice we will make sure the bridal waltz is something to remember and bring a tear to your guests eyes.
This private is available only in the Parramatta Studio, with Roberto Molina (Latin Soul Studio) and Jrisi Jusakos.
For fees information scroll down.
What students say:
I haven't had the opportunity to tell you this in person but I just wanted to thank you so much. I have felt so much more connected with Bellydance since working with you and the Hathor Dance girls. I feel that my technique has improved tenfold and my appreciation and understanding for the music is so much more clearer (although I know I still have tonnes to learn). I just wanted to thank you as I have really appreciated your professionalism and guidance on my journey to living the life of a bellydancer.
