Pregnancy Dance and Samba Dance with Fiona

Fiona teaches dance and yoga, with a passion for facilitating the journey of each individual.

Fiona has been using yoga as a healing tool for many years. Originally drawn to yoga to help manage stress and achieve a balanced lifestyle, she was drawn in by physical and spiritual aspects from the start. Fiona has studied various styles of yoga and completed her teacher training in Sydney with expert teachers, including Christina Brown. Fiona is accredited as a full member with the national body for registration and representation of yoga teachers, Yoga Australia, and is continually updating her skills.

The infectious rhythms of Brazil also captured Fiona’s heart and led her to master many latin dance styles including samba, zouk lambada and salsa. Performing for many years with internationally reknowned latin dance groups based in Sydney, she has been flown overseas to perform and taught various styles in Sydney. Fiona teaches dance from a place of joy and believes dance is for everyone.

Fiona has also studied language and cultures, with years spent in Germany and Japan, becoming fluent in both languages. Later, latin cultures took over together with latin dance. Always motivated by a desire to make the world a better place, she also worked as an environmental engineer for ten years.

More recently, Fiona has been working with yoga and dance for special populations, including pregnancy. Fiona is also available to support you as a birth doula, including birth preparation and the post natal period.

In her classes you will benefit from a well rounded approach to leave you feeling reconnected with your body and spirit. You will find Fiona to be an excellent teacher who doesn’t take herself too seriously, but is serious about your wellbeing.

Bellydancing with Charis

A charismatic woman with oodles of talent and a wicked sense of humour, Charis is a woman you cannot help but notice!

Charis started belly dancing at 19 and quickly fell in love with the dance style, the music and the energy of this dance. Her first teacher Zizi (Donna), a well known Belly Dance teacher on the Sunshine Coast assisted her in getting on the road to success through dance.

Since then Charis has had the pleasure and privilege to learn under some of the biggest names in the Belly Dancing business, such as: Nerissa (Brisbane), Bozenka (America), Michelle Joyce (America) and Tarik Sultan (America).

Charis performed solo for the first time in 2010, which earned her a position in the finals for the amateur division of the Belly Dance Star Awards, a national competition in Australia, which was held in Sydney.

Her passion for dance has driven her to study other dance styles such as Samba, Zouk-Lambada, Salsa, Merengue, Bachata and Reggaeton.

Charis is eager to share her love of belly dancing and believes that this feminine and graceful dance style can help women become more confident and appreciative of their bodies, get in touch with their sensuality, increase fitness and body awareness…as well as just being a way to make new friends and enjoy the company of other fabulous women!
