My mottos: When you dance, you share your inner self with your audience.
Bellydance is an art form as well as entertainment.
It belongs to everyone - you can learn it at any age.
In my performances and my teaching I will always give the best of myself.
Quote from student:
Learning to bellydance with Eva is more than just a fitness class. To me it has been a life changing experience. I wish I had started years ago.
When I started it was all about learning the correct technique with a patient and positive teacher. But now it’s more about getting to know the wider bellydance community, the female support and solidarity that comes from them has been a fantastic surprise.
The most important personal achievement for me is an acceptance of my body. In a world where we all need to be size 10 or ‘0’ if possible, my curvy size 16 body left me feeling inferiour to other women.
So I started Eva’s classes quietly at the back of the room. As Eva worked on my technique and confidence, I moved further forward row by row.
One day I realized that the weight I’d gained in the last few years didn’t make me as hideous as I felt. And that whole cycle of trying to diet and failing was pointless. Now I’m free from that and I’m happy with who and what I am.
I now stand in the front row at class and I’m not quiet anymore. I’m not a great dancer yet, I live in hope. Eva has inspired me and I am dedicated to the art, and devoted to the teacher who travels the journey with me. I can’t thank her enough what she has given me is priceless
