Biography

I choreographed A-Z Original in 2002 and Advanced in 2004 as an international dance language and system to make learning and teaching bellydance dance easy. The new team have been amazing (Renate, Suzanne, Jilyan) standardizing the study courses to make it accessible for dancers to become certified in A-Z anywhere the world and be a part of a supportive network.

Technique is the foundation of A-Z as it teaches the student to understand rhythm, phrasing and transitions to be able to interpret music and choreograph or improvise with confidence. The routines maintain cultural integrity through a vocabulary of cultural stylisations and terminologies. It is an educational tool and also assists the creative process.

I enjoy seeing how dancers and teachers use the A-Z routines - the creativity and energy that emerges always astound me! I am happy to be a part of the continuing growth of A-Z and am very proud of the teachers who have developed their own creative style and used the routines to realise a fuller potential. For me personally, I feel the 'shared language' and supportive networks born of this system - through the people who bring their own dance expression to it - is a positive dynamic that reflects the true spirit if this dance art.
