Some Accomdation !

Ubud Accomodation

Our 9 day retreat begins with 3 wonderful nights in Ubud, the Cultural Centre of Bali – settling into an authentic Balinese experience. Included in these 2 days are accomdation and breakfasts in our own private villa, Welcome Dinner with Traditional Balinese Feast, Rice Paddy Walk Tour and Purification Ceremony with Nicloe’s favourite Balinese Family at a Sacred Temple in the hills of Ubud.

Stonemasons Village

A cultural tour of the Balinese Art, Silver and Woodworking Villages and the famous Barong Dance, are all on our way to the tranquil village of Sideman. Here we are nestled in the foothills of the Sacred Mt Agung to breathe in the amazing energy of the mountain. During these 4 days you are completely nurtured and immersed in nature, far from the busy tourist towns – waking to a gentle chakra -focused yoga session and healthy breakfast to start your day, followed by the Chakra Belly Dance Workshops, lunch and a free afternoon to explore, meditate or involve yourself in Balinese village life. All meals are included in our Sideman retreat.

Yoga on the Beach

BELLY DANCE WORKSHOPS – In the relaxed setting of Sideman, Alexandra will share her 4 Chakra Belly Dance Play /Workshops.

The 4 Workshops are designed around 1 - 2 chakras per session.

Alexandra will start with meditation to activate the chakra to focus upon during that session, then teach Basic Belly dance Techniques , Ghawazi Style (Traditional Egyptian Gypsy), Taxim (slow and sensual), Veil Combinations and Flows, Arm Flows and explore the Baladi Style (traditional Egyptian Folkloric women’s solo dance)

- all amidst the focus of energising or releasing energy from each particular chakra.

The Full Chakra Balance Sequence / Body Flow

will be taught in the last workshop, so you can return home with a

Personal Dance Meditation to charge up or release blockages from your body / mind / spirit.

Learning how to interpret Arabic music is an integral part of this dance form, giving more meaning to your dance and allowing easy, creative and meaningful improvisation.

Alexandra is a dedicated teacher and professional performer, and her passion for this dance is infectious as she invites your to delve inside, open the door and dance to free your spirit!

Located on the Central Coast of NSW, co/principal of the Desert Flame School of Belly Dance for the past 14 years,

Alexandra is currently resident dancer at The Arabian Lounge at The Entrance, runs workshops and/or performances at festivals such as Peats Ridge, Newcastle’s Belly Dance Evolution, Coastfest, Mid Nth Coast and Sydney Middle Eatern Dance Festivals. You may remember her as the “Queen of Sheba” at the Enmore Theatre, Sydney’s 17th Middle Eastern Dance Festival 2006.

Our retreat will end again in Ubud, with an Arabic Dinner and Dance Celebration – and the option to stay on if you wish. (Ask Nicole for details to extend your stay)
