The Bellyup school teaches the dance through choreographies. Each term of the syllabus building on the knowledge and skills gained in the previous dance.
This approach uses the techniques handed down from the origins of the dance where in small communities you learned the dance steps, rhythms, attitudes and history from your mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters and members of the extended community.
Through this approach we believe we engender sisterhood, friendship and lasting bonds as well as a love and enjoyment of the dance, be it just for ourselves, or dancing for others.
