We offer class instruction from beginner level through to advanced/performance level. Venues are at Warriewood and Narrabeen.

Students are taught fundamental dance steps and rhythms in a safe, non-intimidating environment. Props such as cane, sword, veil/double veil, shamadan, zills, wings and the malaya are also incorporated in to the more competent student’s dance repertoire.

Students have ample opportunity to perform at public events such as Avalon Market Day, Newport Market Day, Eurofest, She Festival, Triple Expo, Narrabeen Market Day and many other fundraising events throughout the year.

Improved posture, balance, co-ordination and flexibility are some of the benefits of Josefina’s belly dance classes. If you would like to enquire about these classes, please click on to the appropriate link below.
Her cardio classes will assist in weight loss in conjunction with a healthy eating plan, will improve cardiovascular health as well as improve core strength and overall muscle tone and strength. We also offer class instruction for mums and carers with bubs and tiny tots. You would need to make a separate inquiry for either of these classes. 

PLEASE NOTE THAT TERM 1 IN 2010 WILL BE A 9 WEEK TERM RATHER THAN A 10 WEEK TERM.
