Who am I?
Joy
Dancing is the language of my heart; a profound passion that fills my life with vibrant energy and joy.
I have started dancing at a young age with ballet, followed by middle eastern folk dances, modern dance, latin dances and jazz dance.
After exploring various dance forms, I found myself captivated by the mesmerizing artistry, beauty of expression and cultural richness inherent in bellydance.
I taught bellydance classes and also organized stage performances, workshops and events in South Korea, Turkey, United States of America and Japan for many years.
I had chances to dance and work with lots of very talented dancers from all around the world.
I had been on various TV programs on KBS TV (South Korea), NHK TV (Japan), Aichi TV (Japan) and TV Asahi (Japan).
I made collaborations with many artists in and out of the bellydance world.
I had established my own bellydance school in 2008 in Nagoya/ Japan.
Until the time I moved into Netherlands in 2022; I had hundreds of students, by building an intensive instructor course; trained many bellydance instructors, prepared choreographies for professional teams and solo performers.
I even brought art of bellydance onto the frozen stage by making choreographies for World Championship and Grand Prix medalist figure skater Suzuki Akiko in 2010-2011.
Now I am very excited and happy to welcome you to Joy Dance Lab.
My passion is creating for all women the most joyous way of dance, shape-up & embrace their femininity with moves and rhythms of bellydance.
I aim to bring Joy into the middle of your life circles by our paths cross...
