Shujana is a dancer and teacher with a lot of charisma. She has a really sweet personality and an amazing technique. In 2008 she brought her belly dance education at Yamila’s to a successfully end and celebrated this with a splendid show. http://shujana.hyves.nl
Azaryah is a 22 year old belly dancer from The Netherlands, who has been dancing since she was little. After doing street dance for many years, she found her true love ... belly dance. Belly dancing is her drug against the daily madness of everyday life and she hopes to dance until she disappears into an elderly home someday. Azaryah just adores about every style, from pure "classical oriental" to "tribal fusion" and almost anything in between. Some inspirations include: Rachel Brice, Moria Chappell, Aziza and Suhaila Salimpour. http://azaryah.hyves.nl
Belly dancer Majidah lives in the (Dutch)
In the first workshop I will teach some nice hand/arm combinations and we will combine them in a cheeky, cute and burlesque choreography. The second workshop will involve a lot of technique, drills, layerings and sweating. It’s time to kick our ass again!
What will you perform on stage
I’m going to use music from a really cute but heroic computer game. This game, about four little cute but brave knights will be my inspiration. It’s a performance that represents the same characteristics as the knights represent in the game. Fight for your live and have fun while doing it!
I would definitely take a workshop with me to a desert island because training and practicing takes a lot of time! Something not every dancer has enough off, including me. Some time at a desert island will give you the opportunity to train your ass off with great weather and an awesome view. And when you leave the island and come back to the normal world you can amaze everyone with your awesome skills! I would sign up for it for sure!

Johanna started dancing classical ballet when she was 4 years old. At the age of 14, after a serious back surgery, she discovered her real passion : bellydance.
Since that discovery, she never stopped dancing. Throughout the years, she followed lots of workshops and classes with national and international bellydance artists in order to keep on growing as a professional bellydance teacher and performer.
Her enthusiasm and sparkling personality will put a smile on your face, too :-)
