About me

Hello there, I’m Kim Bech, also known as Khalida (meaning ‘eternal’ in Arabic)

I’m a multi-award winning belly dance performer, online teacher and martial artist, born in Belgium, based in Germany since 2003.

In my classes and perfomances I draw inspiration from 20+ years of  experience in belly dance; as well as from ballet, contemporary dance and my ongoing studies in various Martial Arts (Shaolin & Wudang-Style Kung Fu, Qi Gong, Tai Chi, Taekwondo and Haidong Gumdo (Korean Sword Art & Sword Dance).

This year (2026) I am teaching my final full-year online ‘Rhythms & DANCE BOOST’ Program (enrollments still possible!) – To help dancers of all levels get to know the most common belly dance rhythms – and, more importanly, DANCE to them with more freedom, joy, and confidence.

Next to dance I also offer intuitive personal oracle card readings  (see my NEW ‘Khalida Wisdom’ youtube channel for a taste!)

Last but not least, this spring I started teaching weekly Qigong and Tai Chi classes in my hometown Eschweiler (about 20 minutes from the Belgian/Dutch border) and – for the fanveil lovers – on Sunday 12th of July I will be teaching a ‘3D’ (finally!!) Fanveils FUN WS day!

    “Khalida is one of the most inspiring people I’ve met. Her performances never fail to amaze me. She has turned me speechless with introvert and emotional dances as well as with powerful dances, bursting with exciting energy. She is also an excellent teacher/coach. As a person, Khalida is sweet, very generous and funny to boot! If you get the chance to dance with her or just to hang out, don’t hesitate, you won’t be sorry :-) If that’s not quite an option…. get her on DVD! :-)”

    Queenie, BE
