What can I say about Georgette? I've taken her classes (currently at Amera's Palace in Newtown and Hips Don't Lie Belly Dance Academy at Parramatta). Her lively, bubbly personality is a great motivator - plus she really knows her stuff. She's also a lovely entertaining dancer, with precise technique and an irreverent sense of fun - book her through Born to Bellydance.
This performance at the 2008 Sydney Middle Eastern Dance Festival is typical. I wish you could have seen the whole thing - I saw it live and she shimmied...and shimmied...and shimmied some more. Then she mimed feeling a bit faint (still shimmying) and a roadie rushed out with a bottle of water. She took it and threw it back - still shimmying - then, revived, shimmied even more! Comedy and awesome skill at the same time - amazing!
The next clip is of a surprise performance sprung on Georgette at the Hips Don't Lie Hafla, so it's totally improvised:
was wondering where one can find the dvd of this performance by georgette.. she is great!!! i would really like to see more of her dancing.
I wish I knew, too! It took me a long time to track down this snippet of video of Georgette. I don’t think she has made a DVD.
hehehehe SHE IS VERY CHEEKY… LOVE her style… if ferah isnt avaliable once its time for my wedding… shes second on my list… awesome dancers and its hard to find girls with such true and natural talent… its amazing
She is an amazing entertainer, so beautiful and one of my favourites to watch. ♥ I’d love to attend her classes, if only they weren’t on at the same time as one of my regular classes, damnit!
