Our passion is sharing the art of belly dance through performances, classes, and workshops to help others learn more about Middle Eastern culture and dance and to help others discover their own strength and confidence through engaging in movement.
Siobhan Camille is a multi-award-winning belly dancer and is the founder of Greenstone Belly Dance. Her love of music is equaled only by her love of movement, making belly dance her perfect match. Siobhan Camille takes a particular interest in the health, strength, and performance of dancers, as she is not only a professional belly dancer but also an exercise scientist. She conducted the first-ever peer-reviewed scientific research concerning injury incidence in belly dancers and has a decade of experience working with athletes and dancers across the globe, helping them to recover from injury and improve their performance.
Drawing on her background in exercise science and extensive experience in the exercise industry, Siobhan Camille emphasizes safe dance techniques and teaches students how to ‘find’ and activate muscles to create a crisp, clear technique and well-defined movement.
Siobhan Camilles’s background is primarily in Egyptian and American Cabaret style belly dance, and she credits Aziza, Amanda Rose, The Ruby Lady, and Karim Nagi as some of her most influential teachers. Siobhan also undertook dance studies at university and has a love for contemporary dance that encouraged her to study with contemporary fusion dancers such as Mira Betz, Michelle Sorensen, and Ashley Lopez.
