About Rachel
Hello & Welcome! My name is Rachel Coleman, and I will be your bellydance guide this summer! My bellydance journey began in 2006, originally to incorporate more movement and exercise to my day. The more I danced, the more my fascination grew, and the more I wanted to know. My love for this beautiful dance quickly transformed what was intended to be a simple means of exercise into a natural outlet of self-expression and creativity. My foundation is rooted in the Egyptian style of bellydance, but I also draw inspiration from many other bellydance styles and outside dance genres.
Over the past 17 years I have taught private lessons, group classes, and workshops for the Oxford community through the Oxford Park Commission, The University of Mississippi, and the Yoknapatawpha Arts Council. I am certified in the A-Z Bellydance and SharQui-The Bellydance Workout methodologies. It is my great pleasure to introduce women of all ages to the joy of bellydance! I hope to encourage and empower women in their own dance/movement journeys. I look forward to dancing with you!
