About
Belinda is a flamenco dancer for hire in Perth, WA.
Belinda teaches flamenco, and the way she runs it, you start by watching. She opens with a short performance of a dance or two, then everyone gets up: footwork, arm movements, the hand clapping that holds the rhythm together. By the end of the session your group has a two minute routine of its own to take home. Beginners are the point rather than a problem, and the pace is built for people who have never tried it. Hens parties are the most common booking, though any celebration works. She comes to you and only needs a clear space to perform in plus room for everyone to dance. Insured. Perth based.
Watch
The show
Belinda opens with a short flamenco performance, then gets your whole group on their feet. The class covers the fundamentals of the traditional Spanish dance: strong footwork, the detailed arm movements, and the hand clapping that carries the rhythm. She teaches step by step, and the pace is set for people who have never danced flamenco before, so nerves usually last about five minutes. Along the way there's some of the culture and history behind it. By the finish, everyone has a full routine learned and ready to show off.
On the day
Belinda comes to your venue. Two things make it work: a clear patch of floor for the opening performance, then enough open room for every guest to stand up and move without knocking into each other. Beyond those two things, she asks for nothing.
