Deb's dancing background includes Jazz, Tap, Classical and Professional Cheerleading. She found her passion in Bellydance, enjoying the feminine aspect to getting fit and having fun while encountering a different culture which she loves to share with her students & fellow dancers.

Deb's greatest thrill in teaching is seeing her students master a move & lose themselves in the joy of dance in a non competitive, friendly environment. You'll leave the class, de-stressed, smiling and have new friends.

Deb and her daughters - Tamara and Renee love to dance and perform together. Tam and Renee help run regular children's Bellydance classes and provide interactive entertainment at childrens parties.

 

Margo has been devoted to dance all her life, and discovered bellydance after decades of each of classical ballet, contemporary dance and physical culture. She was immediately captivated by the dance's ability to empower women to feel beautiful, strong and positive about themselves at any age.

She has completed her General Skills Certificate in ATS (American Tribal Style) bellydance with Carolena Nericcio of Fat Chance Belly Dance, San Francisco; and has just returned from another Western Australia Middle Eastern Dance Festival where she undertook several masterclass workshops with living legend, Professor Hassan Khalil of Cairo, Egypt.

Peta discovered Middle Eastern Dance in 2002 and was immediately entranced by it's beauty and the culture's of origin. Since then she has studied under various well respected teachers. Peta's background as a Primary Education Teacher and her attendance in Belyssa's Teachers Training provide a sound teaching foundation for all her students. In addition to her formal qualifications, the life skills she has gained from being a mother of two beautiful young children enable her to pass on to other mums the benefits of the dance 'mum to mum'. Peta's passion for the dance is passed on to each student in her classes in which she concentrates on developing student's basic foundation moves and technique in a fun and comfortable environment. Peta has recently travelled to Egypt where she immersed herself in the dance and Egyptian Culture as well as taking part in various workshops both traditional and modern.

She has performed at numerous functions and events including concerts, interactive performances with migrants from Sudan and Afghanistan, children with special needs, corporate events, womens nights and school events. These experiences have given Peta inspiration and passion to continue teaching the dance to all facets of our community.
