DESCRIPTION
Come and join our class community in exploring this beautiful artform! Fusion Bellydance is characterised by precise isolations, flowing undulations, strong posture, and embodied, body-positive self-expression in a fusion of movements both traditional and innovative. Your teacher Rachael is an internationally respected dancer that has been exploring fusion style for twenty years and has held these popular classes in London for over seven years, so you will be in the best of hands to explore this style.
The Foundations level is perfect for those new or recent to fusion style, those returning after a break and those looking to deeply refine their technique regardless of previous background. In this level we will be exploring all the building blocks of technique unique and essential to a strong fusion dancer covering a range of vocabulary. Come and discover the captivating beauty of this style and the secrets to its technique.
The Open Level class builds on these foundations exploring deeper vocabulary with creative combinations and expressive choreographic work, following on perfectly from the previous class. As an open level class, all are welcome with options to level up and challenge to keep you growing as a dancer.
The Intermediate-Advanced power hour and choreography classes are faster paced with more challenging layers, intricate sequencing, and complex concepts. Recommended for dancers with solid, consistent training in fusion style specifically. Here we challenge ourselves with the fun but crazy stuff while still deeply refining our fundamentals.

Rachael is a wonderful, inspirational teacher. I have only been attending her classes for a few months but I feel I have learnt so much already! Each class is well structured, with sufficient time spent on warm-up and conditioning exercises that help you to develop good and safe dance techniques. The choreographies that Rachael brings to class are beautiful and are great fun to learn. They offer challenge and introduce new techniques to work on, but each movement is broken down and drilled, with a lot of helpful hints, tips and guidance from Rachael that all help you to grow and develop as a dancer. Her meticulous approach combined with her fun, warm personality make her a great teacher. No matter what level you are at, as her student, you feel encouraged and empowered to explore and learn.
