Testimonial Category: Boost! Sessions

“I originally signed up for Khalida’s BOOST classes because I saw she was offering a silk veil series, and that happened to be a topic I was working on at the time. I’m really glad I did! Although I normally prefer to focus my training on all things Egyptian, I have found these classes, and Khalida’s approach to teaching, incredibly helpful.

I’m not a naturally coordinated person, and I’ve often found my dancing is held back by muscle imbalances and body awareness issues, which aren’t addressed in most bellydance classes.

So I really appreciate that Khalida breaks each topic down to its absolute basics and goes through the underlying anatomy, with carefully chosen exercises to activate and release exactly the right muscles for each movement.

It is like a multidisciplinary bodywork class designed especially for the physical demands of bellydance!

I can already tell after a few months that this is helping to give me a much stronger physical foundation for all of my dancing, which I can take with me into whichever styles I am studying.

It really is BOOSTing the overall level of my dancing! Plus, the short classes are a lovely low-pressure way to unwind with movement, after a day of working at my desk :)”

Hi Khalida,
I want to say thank you for the incredible instruction you have provided online.
I am just finishing up your 4 week BOOST series on Veil – did the September workshop yesterday – and my head is full of new ideas.
Your combos are exciting and your explanation and demonstration very clear.
I just wish I could do it live with you but that is 2 am in my world.
Next – fan veils!
Thank you.

I love Khalida’s approach: on Monday strength exercises, on Tuesday relaxation and on Friday we dance. These 30-min sessions are quite intensive, but a lot of fun. Afterwards I’m bursting with energy!
Since Khalida does not only master belly dance, but also studies ballet and various Korean Martial Arts, she teaches differently than other teachers.
I signed up for the Super Student packages because real-time zoom classes seem to motivate me more: Khalida gives immediate and effective feedback during the class that will help you to improve your dance in a correct way. After each BOOST series, your dance is transformed completely.
My shimmies are a lot stronger, my posture is improved and when I dance I focus on a lot more than only ‘dancing’. I would recommend these classes for everybody: from beginners to advanced.

As someone who has been dancing for many years, I have found Khalida’s online Silk Veil BOOST classes invaluable to build upon and develop my technique and to learn new skills so that I can take my dancing to the next level.
Khalida is highly knowledgeable, her warm and giving personality make her online classes an absolute joy and I highly recommend them! I found the cross training and strengthening exercises really helpful too.

Khalida is the most amazing teacher and taught me during her online BOOST courses so much on posture, travel steps and dancing with a veil.
I have been belly dancing for over 10 years now, but she keeps on amazing me on the different aspects there are (you really can never stop learning!) and teaches in detail everything you need to know in order to be a better dancer and have more confidence.
Khalida takes the time to explain everything in depth, and because I have access to the recordings, I can keep on training whenever I have time, from wherever I am (even when waiting for the train to work!)
I will for sure keep on following her online classes in the future, and I can recommend her to everyone who wants to keep on growing and perfecting their dance.

I’m loooving your 30 minute BOOST sessions!! Gives me so much new knowledge and inspiration for both myself and my teaching.

“When I booked the first month of Khalida’s online classes I didn’t plan on doing all three sessions per week – I’m already super flexible and do my own strength training.

But when I joined those cross training sessions I soon realized how great this combination really works: on Mondays and Tuesdays you prepare yourself by working on strength and mobility, but mostly on connecting with your body. This new awareness then helps you make great leaps of improvement during the Friday dance sessions.

This program of bodywork and dance let me see unexpectedly huge effects – on a belly dance-teacher and dance-student with 22 years of classes! So if you love Khalida’s graceful elegance and are ready for some deep but fun bodywork-classes: join us!”
