Georgette

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:
