To all the performers for the evening, your courage to dance, on stage, in front of the audience is praiseworthy. We congratulate you for your undeterred faith, belief and your ability to outdo yourselves and not others. It is an attribute that we should all emulate. Congratulations, ladies! Well done!
To all our respected, passionate students and friends, who have grown with us and in us, you have coloured this journey with much joys and laughter.
Time has come and gone swiftly, and when one glances back at the past that belongs to you, it is a blessing that we have shared a few moments of our lives together. These ties shall remain strong wherever life may lead us.

ELi's Online Interview by Japanese Belly Dance Blog
0 comments Posted by Admin at 2/02/2010 02:51:00 PMELi attended an online interview by Japanese Belly Dance Blog, the Belly Dancing -Exotic Fun- on February 1st, 2010. Japanese translated version will be uploaded soon. Stay tune with us!
I find it very sensual, graceful, and feminine. I personally love the movements that are initiated from our core and hips. I like the flexible yet powerful movements in belly dancing.
2. What is the most important thing to do when we dance in public?
Sufficient training, preparation and get ourselves connected to the public, as most of the time we perform to entertain.
3. Could you tell me about your belly dancing style?
I love contemporary belly dancing and theatrical belly dancing.
4. Could you tell me about the relationship between belly dancing and your background?
I like Ballet since I was 5 year-old. I learned Ballet from my little girl friend named WenLi when I was 5 until 12 year-old, My parent didn’t know that I have such interest in dancing and I didn’t tell them about it, so I didn’t get a chance to learn it properly through a Ballet Academy. I have 3 years of Malay, Indian and Chinese Traditional Dance background when I was 13 to 16 year-old. Then I have 2 years of contemporary dance background when I was 17 to 19 year-old.
I saw belly dancing years later in my dear friend wedding performance, and I started to search for more information about belly dancing. I finally took up belly dancing with a Turkish as part of my recreational activity in year 2002. I have attended belly dance workshops with some of the Belly dance Superstars from the USA such as Jillina, Kaeshi, Sharon Kihara, Tamalyn Dallal, and Sandra as well. I gradually turn belly dancing into my full time profession after 5 years of training and 2 years of part time coaching and performing. I am currently a student of University of Malaya majoring in Master of Art (Performing Arts- Dance).
5. Could you give some advices or comments for Japanese belly dancers?
I love to watch Japanese performing Hip Hop, Breaking, Locking, House, and Street Jazz. Probably Japanese belly dancers can try combining it with belly dancing.
6. Who is your idea belly dancer? Why do you like the belly dancer?
My ideal belly dancer is Sharon Kihara. I like her because she is friendly in person, and her belly dancing skills are phenomenal.
7. What is your future plan w/z belly dancing?
I would like to see more Asian fall in love in belly dancing, so hopefully we as an individual will try to play our part to educate and inspire people around us.
Eli told me People who love belly dancing will find the sensuality and flexibility of a woman.

エリ [クリエイティブ、現代的ベリーダンス]
１．ベリーダンスを始めたきっかけは何ですか。
私は、初めてベリーダンスを見た時、とても官能的で優雅な女性的なダンスだと感じました。 私は身体の芯から始まるベリーダンスの動きが大好きです。そして、柔軟的でかつパワフルなベリーダンスが好きです。
２．ベリーダンスを披露する際に最も大切なことは何ですか。
十分な練習、準備をすること、観客を楽しませること、そして、観客とのつながりを大切にすることです。
３．あなたのベリーダンススタイルについて教えてください。
私は、現代的ベリーダンスと演出の入ったベリーダンスが大好きです。
４．あなたとベリーダンスの関係を教えてください。
私は、5歳から12歳まで、お友達にバレエを教えてもらいました。そして、マレーシア、インド、中国の伝統舞踊やコンテンパラリーダンスを習いまし た。ベリーダンスに出会ったのは、数年前、親友の結婚式の興行の時でした。それから、ベリーダンスの魅力に引かれ、2002年にターキッシュベリーダンス のリクリエーションに参加しました。アメリカのベリーダンススーパースターズのワークショップに参加し、Jillina, Kaeshi, Sharon Kihara, Tamalyn Dallal, Sandraからもベリーダンスを学びました。5年間のトレーニングを経て、ベリーダンサーとして踊りを教えたり、披露するようになった のは、2年前からです。現在、マレーシア大学にてパフォーミングアート（ダンス）を修士課程で学んでいます。
５．日本のベリーダンサーに助言を頂けますか。
私は日本のヒップホップ、ブレイクダンス、ロック、ハウス、ストリートジャズダンスを見るのが大好きです。日本のベリーダンサーはこれらのダンスの要素をベリーダンスと組み合わせることが出来るのではないかと思っています。
６．あなたの理想のベリーダンサーを教えてください。
私の理想のベリーダンサーは Sharon Kiharaです。 彼女はとてもフレンドリーな人柄で、彼女のベリーダンスの技術は驚くほどです。
７．ベリーダンサーとしての将来のプランを教えてください。
私はもっとたくさんのアジア人がベリーダンスと恋に落ちるところを見てみたいと思っています。そして、個人的には、私の周りのたくさんの人達にベリーダンスの魅力を伝えていきたいと思っています。
最後にEliから、「People who love belly dancing will find the sensuality and flexibility of a woman 
」、ベリーダンスを愛する人は官能的で素直な女性達です。
