Egyptian style belly
dance is suitable for women of all shapes, sizes and ages. It is a good
form of exercise and great fun! It is particularly good for people with
lower back problems, anything that strengthening the pelvic floor muscles would
benefit and, as it is not a high impact exercise, it is suitable for people with
knee problems. Kay believes in enthusing her students
with her love of the dance, music and culture.
KayTaylor is an experienced
teacher who has studied with the JWAAD school and was awarded her teaching
diploma in Arabic Dance in 1999, she is now head of JWAAD Teacher Training. For information on JWAAD teachers and courses go to www.bellydanceclasses.org
Classes tend to be based on
a choreography in different styles of Egyptian Belly dance: modern pop, folk,
oriental etc. Open level classes are mixed ability, except Newcastle Dance City Wednesday which are 3 separate classes starting with Beginner, then Improver or if you have been dancing for
some time and want to be stretched, come to Kay's Intermediate class on a
Wednesday night.
Kay works in Cairo at various
festivals & takes groups to study with top dancers. When this happens, Kay
arranges for one of the teachers below or other top teachers in the area to take
her classes. This gives students the chance to develop their own style by
learning with a range of teachers. Kay sometimes hosts workshops with well
known dancers from Cairo & can occasionally persuade them to take one of her
classes to give her students an opportunity to learn with them.
You can also take
additional classes with some of Kays students including Claire Novis, Hazel Gray, Milly, Glennis Larum. These are listed below. Kay
teaches all classes unless specified differently.
