5th Element Dance-Bellydancing in Taranaki

Josephines hen’s party- 13th Feb 2010

I was contacted by Selena Ekdlah, good friend and bridesmaid of Josephine de Wall, to come dance and instruct a private bellydance session as a hen’s party gift.

With a “Masquerade” theme, everyone was dressed to the night and clad with mystery.

“The belly dancing went down extremely well. Had a blast!”- Selena

Hope to see you ladies in our  bellydance for Fitness sessions!

Dance and Drum to a different beat in 2010!

Yes its finally summer! A time where our associates, friends and family gather together.

A time we have more daylight, weddings, work do and summer home parties… A time where the entertaining part of the year comes into full force.

Yes, it the time of the year for the usual entertainment mantra: “Eat, Drink and Be Merry”.

If you are searching for something different to excite your guests, associates, friends and family, how about bring some drumming and dancing to the table? (Excuse the pun.)

5^th Element Dance Company and Rhythmik Journey would love to bring and share another culture, music and rhythm with you!

Last year, in November they were engaged in bringing interactive dancing and drumming for TDHB (Taranaki District Health Board) on their Health Information Association of New Zealand Conference Dinner at Waiau Estate Winery. Delegates came from all over New Zealand in the health professionals simply loved it! Everyone got up and danced, a few tried their hand at drumming. Even the guys got up to have a go at belly dancing!

Rosalina Pang of 5^th Element Dance Company would love to get more people to experience different forms of dance and culture.

Originally from Singapore and now residing in Taranaki, she used to hire belly dancers as entertainers for events and entertainment.  “I was intrigued by the subtleness of the dancers; strength and coordination. Since I was a kid, I loved dancing. I decided to take up belly dancing as a form of fitness and art. I love to share it with others! Since 2004 she has been performing and conducting Bellydance for Fitness sessions in Singapore and since 2008 arriving in Taranaki.

“It has been one of my most exciting and rewarding pursuits.”

Kaali & Allan from Rhythmik Journey have been conducting weekly drumming circles. Allan is dedicated to the benefits of drumming, “It is really good for tuning into yourself.” By drumming to African and

Middle Eastern beats, the rhythms are both joyous and meditative. “It’s great for health, meditation and fun.” he proclaims. “It also allows you to listen, feel and drum to your inner beat.”

As collector and lovers of assortment of drums, we can bring Djembes (African), Darbuka (Middle Eastern) drums and other percussion instruments for your guests.

You may have caught both 5^th Element and Rhymthik Journey in action at the TSB Festival of Lights early this year. Together with traditional oriental dance, “We are all about putting a big smile on your face and having a great time!”

So to get your hips moving, arms snaking and fingers drumming: Give us a call!

Belly Dance Comes to Curves New Plymouth

The members loved it and the veil dance amazed us. Your group made it look so easy! The woman who taught us was wonderful. She took us through lots of moves and put them all together into a dance. It was great!

We’ve put information about 5th Element on the wall, I hope you get some of our members joining.

Thanks so much

Bellydancing Hen’s nite and private party

Richelle and Lara were bridesmaid and great friends of Sarah, the bride to be.

They were planning an event and contacted us at 5th Element, if we could add spice and entertainment for their private party with a group of about 14 ladies. Most certainly! We had all the ladies moving and dancing and complete with a basic but sexy routine by the end of the session.

Here’s their feedback:  “Thank you so much for Friday night!  We had an amazing time, my cheeks hurt from smiling and laughing so much.  There is nothing that we didn’t enjoy, the girls have not stopped raving about it since. We will definitely be recommending you to people. Thanks, again. Richelle.”

Thank you ladies! We are glad you had a great time and keep that sexy move going!
