So why do belly dancing? You may be thinking that you're not the right age, you don't have the right figure, you're not entirely sure if it's for you...... Here are some testimonials from current Isis Bellydance members...........they may make you think differently.
"Having taken early retirement, I looked for a passtime to utilise my body rather than my brain. Signing up for Helena's class was life enhancing. I have found, not only fun exercise, but the opportunity to develop grace, poise, dance technique.......and interact with a group of amazing ladies, who I love for their friendship, support and encouragement. Life is short, live it! Don't be a passenger, be a pilot!"
Christine
"............We are a fantastic group.........I have found friendship, a fun way to exercise, not just my body, but also my mind.....and I have such a happy feeling when I'm dancing. I don't look like a young, skinny model, but nobody is judging and it's great!"
Michele
"I came to the class with a friend who had been going to another dance class.....I suffer from arthritis, but find I can do belly dancing at my own pace, whilst still getting a lot out of it. It's a great way for me to exercise, have lots of fun and I have met some really nice people who are now good friends."
Lesley
"I got into belly dancing purely by chance. It is not something I ever thought of doing or ever imagined I was capable of, but after only 6 months, I feel I can do it. Every week I enjoy it very much. It has become a weekly opportunity to relax and learn.....I receive great support and encouragement from the other members of the group and from the teacher who I feel is always keen to help and advise. My confidence with my body has improved and I now know that anyone can learn to do belly dancing, whatever their size or shape. To be honest, I am addicted to it. It is like a bug and I am part of a great class that gets on very well because we all enjoy it. I love it. It's amazing!!!"

"I joined Helena's classes in September 2008. I started out as a very shy person and now my confidence has grown so much and I have even lost a little weight. We have such fun and excitement during the build up to a public performance - something I thought I could never do. I'm joined by like-minded, lovely ladies who have now become new friends."
