When you are living in the Netherlands my local bellydance classes in Amsterdam are a very good option for you. I offer classes in all levels. They take place in the Heartbeat Dance studio.
There is a membership system, so you can choose to become a member for half a year or for one year. Becoming a member has many benefits! If you want to try first, you can order a trial class. Still not sure? Then you can take just a single class.
In general all classes are thaught by me, Aisa Lafour, but 1 x a month either Marcia Nuriah or Franka Piqué will be teaching the classes. Also when I am away on tour or for whatever other reason, one of them will be teaching. Below you find all information that you need for the classes. I look forward to meet you in the class.
In all the craziness from the day-to-day life, now dancing is the only real connection I have with myself. Everyday as an engineer, my work is accounted for in parameters, standards, rules, formula and judgements. In dance I lose all of these and I can only feel. For me it is a breakthrough … a way to connect to myself.
I decided to pick Aisa as my teacher because I love her style and her performances and videos really inspire me.
And I did a very good choice! She helped me a lot in taking control of all movements. She’s very clear in the explanations and she pays attention at all details. I love her commitment and she transmits this to the pupils as well – which is so inspiring.
Dancing is a pure relaxation for me. I have started bellydancing because I was a doing a lot of martial arts but I wanted to create a balance with my feminine site. When I started I felt that i really enjoyed the music and dance very much and I loved to learn more about the Arabic culture, as I am half Moroccan and half Dutch. Now bellydancing is an important part of me and I already practice it for years now.
For me, bellydance is the most effective and pleasurable way to stay healthy and happy. I call it my medicine. Life’s challenges tend to cramp my shoulders and neck and the daily work routine emphasizes thinking rather than feeling. While dancing I move from my head to my body and I can release the built-up tension. The elegant en feminine movements also help me a lot to recognize my own beauty as well as the unique beauty of all the other ladies in class.
