Ed note: Upon invitation, Gabriel, one of our wonderful photographers<\/em> sent us photos from his wife’s classes in Mallorca, Spain.<\/em><\/p>\n

Helwa<\/strong>, Belly dance teacher and director of Academia Helwa de Danza del Vientre<\/span> pioneer of teaching this art for more than 12 years in Palma de Mallorca, Balears Island, Spain.
\nShe is one of the teachers of Amani Oriental Festival<\/span> in Beirut Lebanon, in 2012.<\/p>\n

During her classes all the techniques and studies are developed with history, fun and investigation. Other kinds of art, such as theatre, music, singing, and poetry are included in the shows because Helwa has lived these experiences all of her life. Helwa believes that a way to touch the sensiblilty of her dance students is to include all the Oriental art forms in her instruction.\n<\/p>\n
