Ballroom Dancing Goes Belly Up!

Forever Dance launched its winter social club (Forever Fun) with a belly full of fun, food and belly dancing! The first Forever Fun event of the winter calendar will be one to remember as everyone traded the refined elegance of ballroom for gyrating, hip shaking belly dancing.

We started off the evening with a tantalising Turkish banquet at Achelya Restaurant at the Docklands. The ambience here was a blend of the Arabic culture and contemporary Melbourne sophistication. The banquet was sumptuous and the conversations were entertaining to say the least... however, the real entertainment kicked-off with the in-house floorshow. A solo belly dancer performed awe-inspiring routines that left many wondering how a human body could move that way! As she rounded off her performance, she was joined by a second, equally talented (yet somewhat impromptu act). Kathleen Corless took to the floor and danced alongside the performer, letting her hips move in ways that could only be described as 'caterpillaric'.

After the show ended, the band resumed and so did the social dancing. Forever Fun members invaded the floor and showed what their hips could do as they danced to authentic Arabic music, followed by a little rock 'n' roll.
