Hello everyone, I've just spent last week filming all of my brand-new September BELLYSOMA classes for Earth, Air, Fire and Water! Here is a sample of the easy, light beginning of the AIR program for Sep. Just a quick note - tomorrow Sep 1st, is the very last day you can join all six months worth of BellySoma sessions for a discounted rate of US$99 - that is all 24 x classes, all fully downloadable sessions from Aug 2025-Jan 2026! After that it's $25 a month. So it's a bargain to have such a full library of classes to choose from!! I always use A-Z and AstroBelly patterns in each class. :)

BellySoma AIR
Light. Expansive. Uplifting.

Float effortlessly as you move with softness and spaciousness, gliding through space like a breeze. Air invites you to relax, release, and rise — for calmness, clarity and gentle presence.

Breathe deeply to activate your inner space. This class supports lymphatic flow, opens the lungs, and detoxifies the body through graceful, breath-led movement.

Feel clear. Feel lifted. Feel the Air.

Join us - new classes just filmed today, uploaded Sep 1st!

BellySoma EARTH
Robust. Grounded. Empowered.

Dance to the rhythm of pulsating drums as you root deeply into the Earth. Strengthen your legs, connect to your hips and feet, and grow a powerful foundation from the ground up.

This class awakens your core vitality — supporting digestion, building resilience, and anchoring you in bold, embodied confidence.

Feel strong. Feel supported. Feel the Earth.

In my BellySoma Earth program, we use a lot of my own Egyptian drum compositions created and recorded in Cairo by my amazing percussionist friends, with doholla maestro, Sam Nascimento.

In my 30+ years of teaching bellydance, I have found that understanding the rhythms and connecting them to your footwork and earth energy, will transform your dancing! The rhythm is the pulse, and once you sync with it in your dancing, it will make you feel more robust, secure, and connected, and.... most importantly the dancer learns how to complete her phrases! So instead of skipping from one phrase to another without completing it, you finish it off you round it out and you sink into Earth. No more 'winging it'! Instead your body feels certain.

As in dance so in life!

By learning to finish your phrases in an earthy rhythmic sense, this will support you in finishing tasks. This comes from someone who used to jump from one thing to another, lol! I finally found the secret lay in the ability to find the end point of a movement and complete it, sensing it fully and somatically. It taught me how to start strong and finish strong. I do believe that anyone with ADHD will be supported through rhythm drums and the earth element. 🌿💃👌🌻

BellySoma classes start August 1st 2025!

BellySoma is sensual, body-loving, somatic bellydance for wellbeing. One of the reasons I created this program, is to offer a flexible movement class that integrates the benefits of the beautiful, earthy Egyptian style of dancing, with other well-being practices that naturally work into the "pathways" of bellydance. An important feature is energizing key Meridian points in the body and tonifying the organs.

I encourage women to embody the dance in a way that feels easy and natural to them, even with physical limitations. So I will often give students an easier way to perform a movement, or modifications if required. I draw from my three decades of deep immersion dancing in Egypt, and certifications in many wellness and fitness practices. My aim is to support and encourage you, as you dance into your deep body wisdom.

I want to thank you for liking or following this page, and can't wait to share more with you all soon! 🥰
