I'm so glad to be able, finally, to add Amera to this site!

Amera Eid was one of the founders of the belly dance community in Sydney, and had a sparkling career bellydancing in the Middle East for many years.

Because she's retired it has been hard to find a clip of her dancing - but here's a recent one, which shows she's still got her mojo!

Amera's website Ameraspalace.com.au is well known to most Sydney students of bellydance, because of the range of excellent teachers who offer classes there - including Jamil, Georgette, Lisi, Rachel and Kurvy (Kellie Harkin).

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!
