Alison has been teaching the art of Belly Dancing since 2002 (having had formal training in ballet
and modern dance).
After attending workshops in Gauteng and Cape Town she opened her first studio in Hillcrest,
Kwa-Zulu Natal and has since studied different styles, including American Cabaret, Egyptian Pop,
Tribal and Classical Egyptian belly dancing (Oriental Dancing). To further enhance her dancing skills she
has gone onto learn the basics of Bollywood, Bhangra, Spanish, Hula and Latin American dancing,
all of which she has successfully fuzed with the intrigues of belly dancing – thus living up to the name of
BellyFusion!
After attending a workshop with the renowned Hadia - www.hadia.com - she was inspired to do Hadia's
internationally recognised Teaching Training Courses (levels 1 and 2) in Middle Eastern Dancing, held in Bali
in April 2008.
She acquired invaluable teaching skills and brought back some exciting technique and choreography.
Hadia's focus on anatomy and physiology is essential to all teachers.
