S.P.A.C.E.

– A Signature Teaching Methodology for Oriental Bellydance

​

In the world of Oriental Bellydance, movement is more than just technique—it is a language, a story, and an emotion. To help dancers cultivate a deeper connection with their movement, I developed S.P.A.C.E., a signature teaching methodology that enables bellydancers to visualize textures in dance.

 

This approach bridges the gap between movement execution and artistic expression, offering dancers a structured yet intuitive way to explore the five essential movement qualities: Sustained, Percussive, Airy, Contrast, and Earthy.

​

THE EVOLUTION OF S.P.A.C.E.

​

With over 16 years of experience teaching Bellydance in India, I have worked with thousands of students,guiding them on their artistic journeys. My background in diverse dance forms—Modern Contemporary, Hip-Hop, Salsa, and Jive—shaped my perspective on movement and musicality. As a performer, instructor, and lifelong student of dance, I constantly seek ways to enhance the learning process for my students.

 

S.P.A.C.E. was born from this pursuit—an approach that simplifies movement analysis while deepening

artistic interpretation. Through this method, dancers not only refine their technique but also discover their unique artistic voice, fostering a more profound connection between movement, music, and self-expression.

FORMAT

​

S.P.A.C.E classes are drop-in classes designed for Intermediate to advanced, semi-professional, and professional Bellydancers.

 

Each session is a deep dive into movement textures, musicality, and self-expression. The class includes guided breathwork, mindful music listening (ideal with headphones for online students), a texture-based warm-up, focused technique drills, a creative combo or mini choreography, and improvisation practice.

 

Whether you attend one class or many, each session is complete in itself—come as you are and leave feeling empowered, inspired, and more connected to your dance.
