Tahira’s Desert Gypsies (senior centre participants)

 

We had the honour of performing at the Roy Thomson Hall Seniors Jubilee.

 

I created Beginner and Intermediate level Bellydance Fitness workout classes on DVDs, to give as many women as possible the opportunity to discover the benefits of bellydance.  These are now available on YouTube, showcasing my students.  Two women are in their 80’s, another, pregnant with her first child, began classes on the advice of her midwife.

 

The studio was a haven to all, and I feel incredibly blessed for the joyful years there.  It was a difficult decision to close in 2014, but small classes continued at Arcade Dance Studio until Covid put a halt to everything.
