Baubo Belly Dancing

Hi, my name is Guinevere, welcome to my website! I am a Belly Dance performer, choreographer and teacher. I run classes in West Wales and workshops throughout the UK. As a certified A-Z Belly Dance teacher I also offer personal technique and teacher trainng oppurtunities in the A-Z Belly Dance system.

Come along to any of the events I run. Have fun, meet new friends and improve your fitness. Many women report feeling more toned with improved posture and less stress through their Belly Dance practice. Belly Dance may be just what you are looking for!

I am currently writing a book on Belly Dance called 'The Belly Dancer's Treasure Pack' for celebration and inspiration. My book is the result of 15 years and ongoing experience in this wonderful art form. I look forward to sharing this special illustrated book with you soon!

My classes and workshops cater for total beginners as well as more advanced dancers. Learn in relaxed, friendly community spaces at a level to suit you. Gift vouchers are availbale for classes or workshops!

Belly Dancing, sometimes called Raqs Sharki, Arabic, Middle Eastern, North African or Oriental Dancing is a wonderfully expressive art. It allows us to connect to and stimulate our creative centres. There are many types of Belly Dancing and we each find our own rhythms within it. People find it 'a great release' and they 'always feel better afterwards'. Through belly dance we can enjoy developing a new skill whilst improving our physical fitness and health. In this dance we work our whole body and feel the benefits in mind, body and soul.

Belly Dance is a name that pertains to the art of the belly roll, undulation and refined abdominal and hip moves that are very pertinent in some styles of Middle Eastern dance. The term Belly Dance was coined in the 1890's at the Chicago World Trade Fair by the French as -

'Dance du ventre' - dance of the belly! And it's stuck...

I call my Belly Dance business Baubo as Baubo relates to, 'The Ancient Belly Goddess' associated with laughter, dancing and 'belly-talk'. Find out more on Baubo in -
