A warm shimmying welcome to 5th Element Dance!💓
Belly Dance weekly classes held at Act2 Performing Arts on Tuesday evenings.
Hi there, I’m Raizel! I’ve been teaching and performing dance since 2004, and my passion for movement has taken me from my roots to stages around the world. In 2008, I landed in New Zealand, and in 2021, I brought my love of dance to Taranaki and Taupo, where I’ve built a vibrant community of 5th Element, a diverse and welcoming dance space.
At 5th Element, we celebrate our unique backgrounds through the beauty of belly dance, fusion, and hula. We explore the rich tapestry of world music and dance, using movement as a language that unites us all.
Our mission is to:
Boost your confidence and make you feel amazing.
Have fun and learn new dance moves.
Feel empowered and supported in a positive environment.
Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to take your skills to the next level, you’ll fit right in with our amazing group of dance sisters from all walks of life.
Here’s what you can expect at 5th Element:
Learn the fundamentals of belly dance, fusion, hula.
Start each class with warm-up stretches and isolations to connect with your body. I’ll throw in some Zumba style around the world dance tracks to get some cardio going and blood circulating.
Explore and learn new choreography every 8 weeks.
Experience progressive classes that focus on fun and fitness.
Discover the joy of movement in a supportive and inclusive community.
This is more than just dance, it’s an experience and space to connect with your body through music and expression! Come connect, unwind, and unleash your inner goddess. Get in touch today and be awakened!
