About Eileen

Bollywood Fusion class is a fun one hour aerobic style dance class using dance moves from classic Bollywood hits. Any age can do these movements. This is a lighthearted fun dance class, no shoes required, and many students wear coin belts and ankle bells.

Belly Dance classes focus on the core with lots of good isolation drills, Zill work, and veils. Students learn to choreograph dances, with many using the combinations of veils and Zills.

Pilates/Ball work class combines the use of a stability ball, light hand weights, and Pilates exercises to strengthen the core. Many students take this class along with their dance classes and have seen the improvement to their core. It is a safe way to do stretches and gain strength. Many students have been amazed at how quickly their core area is strengthened.

As an older instructor (67+), I feel that I am helping other women age gracefully, gain strength and endurance, as well as enjoying being with other women. This has been a passion of mine since I was a child. I started out as a PE teacher and then switched to regular education. Having taught junior high for 25 years, I have a Masters in Education (learning styles) and a Masters in Psychology, along with numerous certifications in the fitness field. Performing in musicals and dance most of my life, I have most recently danced in a Belly Dance and Bollywood troupe in WA State. Now living in Florence, Oregon, I am teaching at the local community college and at the Elks. You can find more about me on my Facebook page, Dancing (concealed information)

I have been teaching in some form since I was 25. After being in musical theatre and playing sports, it was a natural progression to teach dance along side of teaching classes to teens and adults on many subjects. I felt it was a good way to keep my dance skills sharp, get my own exercise, while helping others.



I have a AA in Physical Education, numerous certifications in personal training methods, and personal experience in theatre work which was mostly dance, singing, and performing. My experience with Belly Dance and Bollywood has been over the past ten years performing with a troupe and now teaching locally for over two years.

As a 25 year teacher, I was in charge of performances and after school Cultural Clubs where I taught students to play hand drums and African Dance.

First, I find out about any health issues, exercise programs, and their goals. Beginners work closely with me on learning the proper use of weights, the stability ball, and any tools used for dance (Zills, veils, clothing).



At this time, most of my students are women 45 - 75 years of age. Since I am older and fit, they feel comfortable knowing that they can over come health issues, get exercise, and socialize with other women.



Personally, I would want a teacher that doesn't put me down, makes me feel positive about my self and what I want to accomplish during my time in class. If I start a class and I don't feel good about the atmosphere, I should make a decision to find a class where I do feel good.

If you do not feel comfortable and positive in a class, you will not meet your goals and it will cause you stress.

Also, remember that every teacher has a different style and that is OK. Try different instructors, you can learn something from everyone. I personally had over six different belly dance instructors. They all gave me something uniquely different.



I recently performed at one of our local restaurants during our big Rhody Festival here in Florence. I love performing and getting people involved. The other performance that is quite recent was a performance at our local theatre for a CD party. I belly danced (along with others) to a live band that played their latest music from their CD.



A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
I would ask them to decide the following about their goals, "What do I want out of an exercise program? Do I want to lose weight? Do I want to meet other fun people in doing exercises that are not boring? Do I have health issues that have made me discouraged?
