Testimonial

Bellydancing is not only a fun form of work-out as compared to boring jogging sessions, it also helps me in building self confidence as I learn to love every part of my body in order to dance well. The greatest benefit I gained from bellydancing would be the short 3 hr labor when I gave birth to my baby girl last year! The pelvic exercises and muscles isolation techniques which are core basics of bellydancing has helped me go through a short and smooth labor process. I would definitely continue bellydancing and would recommend this dance to my friends!

Mandy, my instructor, always wears a smile & is never a dull moment watching her dancing instructions.
I can never spot in her any sign of restlessness, impatience & displeasure.
I like her unique warm up & cool down exercises.
She is quick to point out error & unflattering moves.
She praises wholeheartedly when students make improvements.
I always look forward to Mandy’s class.

Hi Angelina,

Sad that my beginner 1 is over so quickly and i have to wait for 2 weeks before the next lesson commences. However i’m also glad that at least this time round i manage to finish the course (unlike previously) and i believe the main reason is having you as my instructor!you are not only patient and encouraging in your selfless coaching but your instructions and demonstrations are clear and motivating. i can feel your genuine and earnest joy in imparting the dance to us in every class, making sure each and every one of us know the techniques and steps. Most important, you are sensitive and non-judgmental to our learning, thus not only strongly motivating me but giving me space to enjoy the dance. Your class is always fun and further livened by your light-hearted jokes.Merrry christmas to you and hope to have you as my instructor for future classes.
Thank you ^-^

I have been to a few instructor classes – regardless of trial or make up classes and i still Angelina is still the best instructor i have ever encountered. she is forever so nice and caring and patience with newbies like us, she put in lots of effort and went through great height to ensure that we really know what we are learning. she is definitely an asset to bellydance studio :)

I would like to extend my appreciation to yourself and the instructors at Belly Dance for your passion, dedication and patience in coaching students like myself who need more time in getting the moves and techniques right. In particular, would like to highlight the following instructors:

  1. Shamilah – Being my first instructor here, her warmth and sense of fun was crucial in getting elementary students to be at ease. Her patience and encouragement spurs students to continue with belly dancing.
  2. Mandy – My first lesson with her was actually a make-up class. However, that did not deter her from keeping a lookout for me despite the fact that the class size was relatively large that day (more than 15). Her warm-up is rigourous and carefully thought through, to ensure that the students are able to get the basics right while taking into considerations the choreography of the dance. As she knew that I am repeating the beginners’ level, she continue to keep a lookout for me, and ensures high standard in getting the basics right. Her drills are vital in ensuring a solid foundation for the higher levels.Her patience and constant encouragement strengthens students’ faith that they are able to master belly dance.
  3. Fiona – My third instructor here at Belly Discovery. She’s very patient and caring. She makes an effort to remember student’s name. There was once I was absent from class and to my surprise, she actually remembered and even reminded me to go for make up lesson. I was very impressed when she was able to tell me the date and time of the make up class. This was really exceptional because I know that the instructors have many classes and many students and I really don’t expect them to (and no, I’m not expecting them to now :P ). Fiona’s patience and encouragement is instrumental in fueling my determination to continue with belly dancing.
  4. Yuki – Being the guru, she’s not only good in her craft but is an also excellent teacher; something that I truly appreciate. Her humble and down-to-earth disposition is admirable and is something that her students find endearing. In the 2 brief sessions that I was with her, I was struck by her ability to remember each student’s strengths and weaknesses. Thank you for your patience and guidance in the 2 sessions that I was with you.

Thank you once again and here’s wishing you an early blessed Christmas.

Blessings,
Wan Eng
