Dancer Stretch Class on Summer Break
Hi everyone, its Rya, your Dancer Stretch instructor. Thank you for a wonderful spring season and supporting my new class. I will be taking a summer break from my Dancer Stretch class, returning Monday, August 5th. If you’ve been attending my class, I hope you enjoy your summer off and know that I am taking this time to rejuvenate and work on some new dancer stretch ideas and lesson plans. I cannot wait to share my new material and restart the class with you this fall.

Behind the Veil with Shaira Amon
May 20, Monday
Behind the Veil Part 1 of 2 (7:15-9:15 pm)
This workshop concentrates on intermediate veil technique, and introduces the skills necessary to dance with two veils. Technique includes veils throws, recovery of veils, turns, fun poses and more! A fun all body workout, focusing on correct posture, upper body and arm strength. Dancing with double veils is magical, beautiful, mesmerising and elegant, your veils being your floating dance partners.
This is a two part series which will be performed in Orlando at a sister studio hafla.
Entry requirement: some previous experience of veils helpful.
WHAT YOU NEED
Two veils – She recommends silk or imitation silk semi-circle cut. But any veils will work! The effects will be slightly different depending on weight and size. Bring a pair of socks or dance shoes for spinning.
Here’s a tip! Take GINGER before class to reduce dizziness during turns!
Cost
Cost of the workshop is $45 and must be paid in advance.

New Dancer Stretch Class on Monday’s
Join Rya every Monday evening for Dancer Stretch, 7:15 – 8:15 pm @Nicole Cote School of Dance
Why is it important for dancers to stretch?
Stretching helps you increase your flexibility, strengthen your technique and improve your lines, and range of motion, all while avoiding injury. You spend countless hours on classes and practicing, however, stretching is just as important to your success as a dancer.
Women’s Day Belly Dance Class

Happy International Women’s Day to all the women who have dared to dream! Melbourne Belly Dance and The Yoga Gallery are offering a special belly-dance class to celebrate women’s day. You will learn few basic moves, a combination, and enjoy a variety of Middle Eastern style music.
In support of this year’s theme is to Inspire Inclusion. When we inspire others to understand and value women’s inclusion, we forge a better world.
And when women themselves are inspired to be included, there’s a sense of belonging, relevance, and empowerment.

Thank you for another Year of Dance!
Thank you for another year of dance! This has been a wonderful year. It would not be possible without the support and energy of our dancers and community. Thank you for ALL you do to make The Melbourne Belly Dancing Academy an AMAZING place to dance.
We are so proud of what we have been able to accomplish together this year. At MBD, we are very passionate about encouraging confidence building, teamwork, and personal growth. Beyond creating talented dancers, we want our students to also learn about the middle eastern culture and traditions that go hand-in-hand with this art.
This year we experienced record setting growth. We tripled the amount of students and now have 5 instructors with over 100+ years of combined experience. We hosted a Summer and Holiday Hafla, we hosted 3 workshops, the troupe placed in an international competition, and our instructors and troupes danced in many community and sister studio haflas! One of our most memorable outings was to attend the Barbie movie and our Girls Night Out at Flames Middle Eastern Grill!
Thank for trusting our vision and trusting us with your dance and fitness goals. Thank you for reading our emails, attending our events, investing in your dance and education, and the list goes on and on! Most importantly, thank you for believing in your dance dreams and our vision for the studio.
Every year we witness SO much growth in our students and academy we are SO proud. Thank you, dancers, for your hard work, positive attitudes, and passion. You encourage and inspire us to become better teachers and leaders.
We have so many things to look forward to next year! Previewing 2024, we have an exciting line-up so far. We are hosting Kaeshi Chai and traveling to Egypt in January, Marcelly is expecting in February, we are dancing in numerous workshop events like the Orlando Belly Dance Convention in August as well as traveling to New York City to dance in December! Wow, what an amazing year its going to be!!!!
thank you again from the bottoms of our heart!
Love your Melbourne Belly Dance Instructors!
