Rebecca is our beautiful Bollywood instructor, who's classes focus on building confidence, encouraging creativity, and developing technical skills through a blend of traditional and contemporary choreography. Born and raised in Pakistan, Rebecca immigrated to Canada with her family at the age of 12. Exploring the dance scene in Calgary allowed Rebecca to train with various instructors in several genres of dance, including hip hop, house, voguing, whacking, dancehall, afrobeats, and heels. We are honoured to welcome Rebecca to share the dynamic and expressive art form of Bollywood and its rich cultural heritage.
DANCE THERAPY
Our dance and movement classes are here for you.
Our bodies begin to hold trauma at a fairly early age - in fact, many of us have trauma we aren't even aware of. This trapped trauma can be released in many different ways, depending on how the trauma initially occurred.
Our classes at Somatic Temple are focused on movement styles that balance and cleanse our Sacral Chakra. We relearn how to undulate our bodies to physically ebb and flow with the waves of life. We re-establish our connection with our hearts and our bodies. Learn to embrace sensuality without a need to sexualize.
Here at the Temple we teach the highly coveted Datura Style(TM) Belly Dance format which addresses both structured and improvised movement. Our fitness classes follow the Bellyfit (R) format, with a focus on Bellyfit FLOW(R).
Datura Style(TM) and Rachel Brice
Rachel Brice is one of the world's leading dance educator's in fusion belly dance. Her curated format, Datura Style (TM) Belly Dance, has everything a movement artist could crave.
