Pink Moon BellyDance

Pink Moon BellyDance is all about dancing for wellness--dancing for all ages, for all bodies, linking the African culture/history of bellydance. I would describe myself as  a wholistic bellydance instructor. Because bellydance was not introduced to me as a performance art, but as a casual social activity the women in my community would do at tea parties/weddings for healing/worship, or celebration.

When I teach bellydance, I teach language, vocabulary, history--I tell stories, we sing songs. I also promote sisterhood, so we may end class with a brunch, attend community bellydance events together, party at Afro Soca Love, have a yoni steam circle, hafla, Full Moon Ceremony, etc. I work to create space for us to bond, but also for self-reflection and empowerment. There's a real comraderie among the Pink Moon BellyDance students and families and once you are part of the Shimmy Sisterhood it's an everlasting connection. Pink Moon BellyDance Students come to class with a journal. We start every class with a reflection, vocabulary, and dance notation. Register for bellydane class HERE.

Pink Moon Bellydance is active throughout the NC Triangle Community. We bring that bellydance flair to birthday parties, ladies' night out, festivals, schools, child care centers, bridal showers, blessingways (blessing the pregnant mother before  she goes into labor), Queen Mother Ceremony (honoring the mother after birth), Rites of Passage Programs, storytime in libraries and on rooftops, and more. Click HERE to book me.
I've also created a Pink Portal, to continue and support bellydance education beyond the classroom. The Pink Portal is a private student-instructor Bellydance Blog consisting of everything we cover in class plus supporting material. This includes video, pictures, inspiration, fitness/health information, and more. Students can communicate with each other and with me (the instructor). You gain access once you begin Pink Moon Bellydance Classes.

Below is our Belly Yoga event which is a fusion of yoga and bellydance. I usually coteach this event with a yoga instructor such as Ingrid Saddler-Walker (E-RYT 200/500) of Wytha Balance Yoga Studio.

Below is a Youth BellyDance Birthday Bash!!

Below is our Annual Dancing Fire Circle, which also provides a casual healing spiritual "performance" space for dancers/
​for everyone.

Below is a picture of my King & I:

You know u r in line with the divine feminine when you know the value & place of the divine masculine. He is the gardener, the King, the mage. He carries the ability to take inner knowing out into the world and put it into practice, without mincing, muttering, or apologizing.

Thanks 
Hakim Ziyad-Bey for guarding, maintaining, and protecting our sacred space, our belly dance sanctuary for Pink Moon Belly Dance. Thank you for encouraging my passion as a belly dancer and making sure I can continue to share it with other women.
