People who have explored Embodied Bellydance™ say…

“Maria’s knowledge of anatomy and how the body works informs her extraordinary, effective and transformative bodywork.   After her Embodied Bellydance workshop, all the participants were moving more naturally and gracefully, inhabiting their bodies, and loving it.  Maria’s years of study, research and application have resulted in a wonderful method of experiencing dance that will be of enormous benefit to dancers of any age, size, or shape.”                              Zada, Shimmering Sands, Alice Springs

Techniques like the Shimmy and the Egyptian walk have been the hardest for me to teach to my students, but since doing your workshop, I have utilised the way you break movements down, and my students and I are doing the best shimmies ever!”                      Melissa Cristina, Oriental Dancer, Melbourne

“Maria’s style of teaching is unique, powerful and deep with major focus on body awareness, finding your centre and being in the moment when you dance.  She has an intuitive understanding of the music and guides dancers to explore and interpret it in an authentic manner.”                   Madonna Teitzel, Tribal Dancer, Toowoomba

“Maria’s Embodiment work has opened up a whole new way of looking at Bellydance for me. Anatomy, body awareness and the embodiment of the dance takes it to a whole new level, beyond just the physical. I have learnt to be connected to myself fully and authentically. This creates such a freedom within the dance that you rarely find anywhere else.”                        Cindy Hyde, Tribal Fusion Dancer, Melbourne
