Established in 1995 (May 1st) by Nayima Hassan, Belly Dance Academy of Adelaide blossomed to become a celebrated South Australian success story. Situated in the western precinct of Adelaide CBD at 240 Franklin Street, this great location is easy to access with good free street parking. Set within a historic 1860’s church adorned with Egyptian statues and treasures, you’ll be sure to feel right at
home while learning an ancient dance with a modern twist. With a large and beautifully decorated studio hall, your dance surrounds are inspiring and airy. The exotic décor evokes the mystical ambience of a by-gone civilisation, adding to your whole cultural dance experience. Whether a total newbie with two left feet or an experienced dancer, there is a class perfect for you! Beginners classes are held Mon 6pm, Wed 9:45am, Wed 7pm and Sat 9:45am for one hour. For a standard 10 class term, students attend once a week throughout a 10 week term. If you prefer to attend more often, we'd love that and there are really good price incentives to attend more often. Please check out our website for the full timetable of all classes and levels ('Timetable' page). While you're there also check out our prices and Beginners newbie student specials ('Fees & Enrol Now' page). There's only one choice in Adelaide for Belly Dance classes, that's here in Franklin Street with Nayima, where the famous choose to rehearse such as Mick Jagger and Cate Blanchett.
