Welcome - Course Introduction
Dear dancers,
Welcome to A–Z Bellydance 2026! This year, you’ll be exploring your own aesthetic, temperament, and the unique way your body tells a story. Our theme is the intersection of form and feeling—fully embodying movement so your dance becomes living, breathing storytelling.
Each of us carries a different history, and our bodies remember it. Your personal style begins here: in the depth of your somatic experience, in the inner “gold” that shapes how you move and express yourself. Your authentic style is simply the one that feels like home—and it can evolve as you do.
Your style will naturally reflect your inner knowing, your emotional maturity, and may be touched by cultural or historical influences. But at its heart, it is a present-moment expression—your own flow state. When you dance in flow, technique becomes instinct, and a deep inner resonance fills your artistry. You feel the movement emotionally and physically, and your audience feels it with you.
We share stories not only with those who watch us dance, but with our dance community—and, for teachers, with our students. This is where focus meets flow, and where your temperament and aesthetic come together to create something uniquely yours.
Here is an overview as to what you can't expect this year with the 40 week course! Of course music is always a highlight and I have made many trips to Egypt to source some of the best music for you.
