In 2015, after a long period of reflection on her life of teaching internationally, performing and expanding on her knowledge of the dance she loves, Alexis was inspired to create an intensive dance programme focusing on fostering community, developing the unique voice of the dancers in the community and providing a solid foundation in technique for this dance style.

As dancers in this genre, we often work alone without the consistent guidance and mentorship we crave to travel along our dance journey. After working in this field for the past 16 years, Alexis has noted that the majority of dancers working and training in this dance style still don’t have a regular teacher or opportunities to grow with an instructor’s guidance. Alexis hopes that she can be a positive role model and mentor for the cohort of dancers participating in the intensives.
Dancers receive an intensive education programme delivering detailed training in the fundamentals of fusion bellydance technique and stylisation. There are options to join the programme as a live one year programme with dedicated mentoring through private lessons and feedback sessions included; or to join the online programme which will be launched in late-2023.

The full course syllabus covers easy to implement conditioning and drills for students’ practice, lessons in musicality, foundation level finger cymbal training, history of the dance-styles which influence Alexis’ training and teaching, and more. We stay connected throughout the course, co-developing personal goals and working on understanding the dancers’ own artistic interests and vision.

The programme has sold out every year since 2015, and the next course will begin in 2023.
