Testimonials
Is there free parking near the studio?
Yes, there is free 2 hour parking down Anchor Place and Cecil Place (just opposite the studio from Chapel Street).
If you will be more than 2 hours, there is 3 and 4 hour parking on Thomas Street. From the studio, head towards Dandenong Road and turn right at High Street. Thomas Street is the first on the left.
Can I still join the course if I don’t want to perform?
Yes, if you want to learn the choreography for you own personal development, please join us. Saying that, there is nothing like the thrill and achievement of working towards a full performance. This is an amazing way to take your dancing to the next level.
Do I have to be at a certain level to join the course?
The course has been designed so that everyone will be able to practise their moves, and extend their belly dancing – from absolute beginner to professional. We will learn and practise detailed technique, to complement the choreography.
Do I have to perform in costume?
Yes. Everyone will be wearing full belly dance costume for the performance. We will be discussing this in our first session. We will make sure there is an affordable option for everyone.
Do I have to show my belly?
No. If you don’t feel comfortable exposing your belly, you can wear a body stocking underneath your costume. You can purchase these online. Or ask your fellow dancers in the first session.
Who is the teacher?
Elisa has been instructing belly dance for over fifteen years. She has traveled to Egypt, Turkey and Lebanon to enhance her artistry. She has performed at numerous venues across Melbourne, and internationally. She runs her classes in a way that will challenge and extend all levels from beginner to advanced. Expect to enhance your dance moves, and your performance skills.
Can my friends and family come and watch the performance?
Yes. Please invite your friends and family to come to the event. You will be notified as soon as tickets go on sale.
I can’t make it to one of the sessions, can I still join?
We will be recording the choreography so that you can practise at home. Saying that, you will get much more out of this course if you can attend in person.
