About
Belly Dance by Rose is a belly dancer for hire in Perth, WA.
Rose performs and teaches bellydance, with a reputation as an instructor that reaches well beyond Perth. The range of settings she works in is wide: big concert stages and festivals at one end, weddings, restaurants, multicultural events and private parties at the other. She has extensive experience dancing to live music with both Arabic and Persian musicians, which has sharpened her musicality and her improvising. She responds to what she hears in the moment, traditional or contemporary, and the work stays rooted in the culture the dance comes from. A standard show runs twenty minutes with audience participation, and wedding or corporate bookings get a specialised performance with props. Live musicians can be arranged on request. She needs a speaker supplied and a room to change in.
Watch
The show
Rose has performed everywhere from big concert stages and festivals to weddings, restaurants, multicultural events and private parties, and she pitches the performance to the room she's in. Her real strength is musicality. She's danced extensively with live Arabic and Persian musicians, which trained her to improvise and respond to what she's hearing in the moment rather than run a fixed routine. Traditional or contemporary, the dance stays rooted in the culture it comes from while still working for an audience who've never seen bellydance before.
Performance options
The standard show runs twenty minutes and includes audience participation, so guests end up on their feet rather than just watching. For weddings and corporate events there's a specialised version, shaped around what you've told her about the day, with props worked into the performance. Live musicians can also be arranged, which changes the whole feel of it. Ask about that when you enquire.
