Words from Ondyena & why she loves BellyUp!

by Ondyena Oshyn Bellydance is a sacred art form of the Divine Feminine. Joharah of BellyUp embodies this beautiful art from the moment you walk into her studio. You'll feel as though you've left the modern world and have entered a magical, mystical, beautiful world rich, sensual and full of energy. I am an energy healer and I have also been a bellydancer from LA to Toronto and I was in awe of the studio as it makes you feel like a goddess. The studio makes you want to move your body no matter what level you are as a dancer. I can say that I have not felt this kind of energy in any studio I've ever visited. Joharah infuses her classes with her own sense of powerful, feminine energy and leads everyone naturally to a love of the dance. It is obvious that she has not only a profound love and respect for this beautiful dance form, but also a deep knowledge of it at every level. Her sense of rhythmic timing is impeccable and in tune with the deepest of Arabic rhythms. And she is able to convey and breakdown technique and all it's subtleties to her students while giving us a workout that is not only fantastic and challenging at a physical level, but also deeply healing at an emotional level. I find myself going into a state of bliss in her classes, remembering my past heritage as a female-dancer-mover of energy and tapping into the power and flow that is the birth right of every woman. There is no doubt that bellydance is deepling healing and empowering for all women. Last week I told Joharah after class "I can't believe that every woman in Oakville isn't here taking classes!". If they could only experience these exhiliarating classes they'd feel amazing about themselves. Every woman would naturally move with joy if she could dance like this ... and Joharah is showing us the way. Visit BellyUp for a FREE trial class anytime. www.bellyup.ca
