What is Dance & Fit?

A fresh and energising class that combines the joy of dance with the benefits of a full-body workout. Every session follows five modules: we open with cardio through dance sequences and combinations — drawing from bellydance or bachata — to get the body moving and the spirit lifted. From there, we move into a short targeted workout for legs, abs, back and arms, followed by a drill session where we return to cardio by deepening a specific dance technique. We then focus on stability and balance, and close every class with stretching to restore and integrate. Come ready to dance, sweat and feel good.

Read full bio ▸

Badriyah is a professional Raqs Sharqi dancer (bellydancer), devoted mainly to Egyptian classical and folkloric styles, modern fusion and the Golden Age of belly dance. Badriyah has won several important awards - she was awarded as silver Belly Dancer of the Universe 2012 (California, USA), Vice Miss Bellydancer of Europe 2011 (Germany) and bronze Bellydancer of the Universe 2011 (California, USA). The biggest achievement of her dance career is performing for 6 years with Bellydance Evolution, led by the famous Jillina. She has performed in Japan, Hong Kong, USA, Taiwan, Australia, Morocco, Greece and other countries.

Her biggest passion is the history of Raqs Sharqi. She is a collector of vintage items depicting Egyptian dancers, and she is the organizer of Kan Zaman - The Golden Era Music & Dance Festival. She runs an online Raqs Sharqi Museum, and she plans to turn it into a physical museum based in Ghent.

Personally, the most wonderful thing for her is to see her students grow and fall in love with dance, no matter which forms the dance has.
