Classes Attends:
When did you start dancing?
I started dancing at about 4 doing the classic Ballet! But also many years doing acrobatics.
What is your favourite style of dance and why?
My favourite dance style is of course Dancehall! I love the music and energy the dance style brings along with the different array of styles within the dance form! The dance can be very ‘flowy’ and chill but also can be intricate and complicated and I love the challenge. It’s also very empowering!
Second to that I would say flamenco (for the opposite reasons) the precision and structure within the steps and the rhythm. I love the sound of the heels in union with the music and of course the music itselt. When I used to do flamenco it was with a live guitarist and it was beautiful!
Who inspires you to dance and why?
I would have to say Pareesha – she is a very inspiring teacher but also person! She always brings fun, energetic and challenging choreography and teaches it in a supportive environment. She is passionate towards the dance style and this really shows both in her own dance but when she is teaching. Plus the costumes she makes for carnival are incredible!!
Well Done Bethanie, and congrats again! 🙂
