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!
