Our aim is to provide a fun and supportive atmosphere where you will gradually increase your fitness and flexibility, learn to walk with improved posture and most important of all you WILL learn to dance! 

We offer beginners through to advanced classes, some classes of mixed levels, as well as fusion and tribal classes.  Our teaching pace is specifically designed to be gentle, enabling us to provide a safe and supportive atmosphere for students to have fun exploring the technique of the dance while also allowing you the opportunity to relax your mind, body and spirit.

Celebrating The Sacred Feminine

At Goddess Bellydance our core philosophy is the dance as an expression of the inner Goddess within us all.  We embrace the myriad of qualities that make us all unique expressions of the Goddess, celebrating all aspects of our feminine nature. 

Our Teachers will gently encourage you to explore your own creativity and feminine self-expression through the dance when you are ready.  We provide performance opportunities and support for dancers with an interest or passion for performance, and a fun and relaxed atmosphere for those dancing simply for fun.

So happy dancing Goddess, enjoy the journey!
