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.

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.
