Hello there, I’m Kim Bech.
Also known as Khalida (‘forever’ in Arabic) – a multi-award winning belly dance performer and online teacher, born in Belgium, based in Germany.
My Story – How I became pain-free in my late thirties.
About fifteen years into my dance career I’ve had to find a way to overcome chronic pain from an old spinal injury, which had been becoming worse gradually but steadily in the time I was traveling a lot for dance.
It took me over 5 years of daily struggles and many winding paths, but to this day, at almost 46(!) I can now finally say I am completely pain-free, thanks to the power of gentle movement, manual therapy, deep breathing work and regular strength/mobility training.
It also gave me an unexpected BOOST in creativity, and in 2020 I’ve started sharing in my online classes what I’ve learnt during this process.
Because of what I’ve seen in my BOOST classes, I firmly believe now that healthy(er) movement and joyful creativity can be learnt, practiced and cultivated by ANYONE, at ANY AGE.
My teaching inspirations are my ongoing studies in Chinese and Korean Martial Arts (Shaolin Kung Fu, Qi Gong, Wudang Tai Chi, Taekwondo and Haidong Gumdo) combined with my Dance and Movement experience (ballet, contemporary, belly dance) from the past 20+ years.
My online classes are my way to share what I have learned, and am continually learning today. My ONLINE BOOST PROGRAM is created to help dancers of all ages, levels, and styles achieve effortless movement and pain-free dancing.
What we focus on in my online programs for dancers is not only improving dance technique, but also gaining (inner and outer) strength, mobility, relaxation, confidence, freedom of movement and effortless(!) fluidity in daily life.

“Khalida just loves to share all her knowledge with fellow dancers and that makes her a world class teacher in my book. I love her cheerful femininity and her excellent technique. She blows my mind every single time.”
