Russya

Russya has been belly dancing for over 20 years and has performed all over the world - Germany, Spain, Finland, Sweden, Poland, England, Singapore and now in Perth, Western Australia.

I haven't studied with Russya myself, but looking at her experience as well as her qualifications in Yoga, Pilates, drama and dance, it's obvious that she would have a wealth of knowledge to impart.  She doesn't teach beginners, but her Stage Performance Training course sounds fascinating.  Each module can be taken individually, or you can sign up for the whole course.

For more information and to contact Russya, visit her website.

Adriana

Adriana started the first belly dance school in Hobart in 1991, now known as "Bellywood" (love the name!).

As well as classes in various locations around Hobart, the school has an enthusiastic drumming group.  Check out her website, bellywood.com.au, for more details.

Soreya

Soreya's belly dance school is based at the Beleza Samba School studios in Fremantle.  She specialises in world fusion belly dance.

I see so many dancers using Isis wings badly - it's nice to see them handled well in this clip of Soreya at the Mind Body Spirit Festival in Sydney 2008:

You can see more of Soreya in action and contact her by visiting her profile at Tribe.net - which, by the way, is becoming a kind of Facebook for belly dancers, especially the Tribal ones (for obvious reasons)!

For details of her classes, visit the Beleza Samba website.  Here is a clip of her students in action:
