Fiona teaches Baladi, the dance of Egypt. 'Baladi' means "my
country" or "of my country" and is the name of the urbanised folk music
and dance from the Middle East. A new style of dance developed in
the nightclubs, due to the introducing of outer influences and aspects
of other cultures, like Ballet, Flamenco, Brazilian samba and Indian
dance. This hibriding, became what we call today "Raqs
Sharqi".
Fiona Harding - Fina! took up belly dancing from 12 years old
and began a Professional career performing from the age of 14
years. Fiona has been teaching continuously in
Australia and New Zealand since 1990. The classes offer
a fun, exercise belly dance class that is based on the improvised
rhythms of Baladi.
Fiona now offers belly dancing classes from a home belly dancing studio, Bayswater, Auckland.
I believe everyone can dance and that dance and costuming
should be available to anyone who has the call to learn! I aim to
provide a rich, cultural experience for women that is fun and increases
their fitness and wellbeing, beginners through to professional. My
mission is to inspire and empower mind, body and spirit through
traditional dance.
