Upcoming Experiences
Ceremonial Fire Performance Journey (SYDNEY, AUS)
Guided by Bella Fuego
Fire Ceremony
Dear sister, this is a private invitation into a Ritual Fire Dance Ceremony to be Performed for Roots Women’s Festival 2026.
We will journey through a unique Ceremonial Course to initiate us into the Exotic Ritual Theatre of Fire and Dance.
We have finally transited through the portal of the Eclipses and Winter into Spring. A potentially churning time that asked us to surrender to the unknown and be reborn for the coming 6 month cycle. As a woman, this is a natural theme that honours our potential strength and adept capacity in the process of death and rebirth. The power of transformation, in the process of beauty, power and art through surrendering and devoting ourselves to the mysteries of life.
Fire is an intimate dance with one of our worlds raw wild and often misunderstood elements. Fire casts both shadows and light. The burning qualities in our life can be so entrancing to witness. When we burn with passion, fury, warmth, destruction, inspiration or change.
In many cultures fire is considered to be masculine, father or grandfather fire. I think of him as the carrier, the vessel that knows how to hold and move the dancing feminine flames into their fullest expression of truth.
In many ways we also associate the feminine as the symbol of the hearth, the fireplace and heart of the home. The home of a house, the womb of the body.
Whatever needs to happen, whether we let the fire go out and lose our way, whether we fuel the fire to transform matter into the spirit, whether we burn the world in our wake, whether we use the fire to light us through our dark nights of the soul, whether we generate the warmth and radiance to nourish the world, or whether we just dance the wild and liberating dance of life.
The fire keeper and great masculine qualities of fire have the capacity to stay in the power and remind us that whenever the feminine nature of fire is ready to harness her potential, only wild beauty can emerge.
Through this unique Ceremonial Fire Dance Journey we will be initiated into archetypal roles that represent the feminine process of beauty and awakening to power and the phases of this process.
The myriad roles we will embody:
- the priestess, the protector, the warrior, the serpent, the celestial dancer, and the mother
This is a complete devotion to a higher vision body of art and transformation.
If you are ONLY looking to learn to Fire Dance, this may not be the right offering for you.
As this invitation is exclusive to women in my circle that I feel are ready to step into this art or ready to take their dance further. You will each have different skills and be in different phases of your journey. This will be a time of commitment, honouring the roles you are ready for and navigating patience and devotion to the collective work. By saying yes, you are acknowledging that you are truly ready mind body and soul to take on the responsibility of being woven into a tapestry of women. That you will be relied upon for your presence, radiance and commitment.

Sensual Floorwork Dance: 6 Week Course (SYDNEY) SOLD OUT
Guided by Bella Fuego
Sexy
Steamy
Sweaty
Sweet
Cultivate deep heat in your week through this embodied sensual floorwork dance course.
6 Weeks, every Wednesday night, 6:30-7:30pm
Starting June 25, 2025
As winter embraces us, we embrace it in return through this deep descent into our bodies and inner reservoirs for physical, mental and emotional warmth, health and hydration — dance.
One of my personal virtues to stay in the nourished flow of life is creating space for my body to express desire, sensuality, curiosity and sexuality internally.
Some days we process life, grief, confusion, stress, exhaustion, transitions, play, pleasure, anticipation and excitement through a liberated mind and well explored body.
If you’re in the mood to feel an inner precision, playfulness and grace through some of our most under-expressed sides of our feminine personality, then I’m inviting you into this course.
I’m here to support you to cultivate a fulfilment of your natural desires, the deep feminine urge for intimacy that is inherently designed to be indulged in your own body by your own body.
If you’ve been feeling stiff, sticky, irritated, bored, lonely, stagnant, sexy, confident, creative, this is all for you. Because mood lighting, safe spaces, good music, beautiful sisters, vulnerability, play and personal intimacy will always serve a woman in any phase of her full spectrum.
This experience is for you if you’re in the mood to feel beautiful, fun, free and not only have the opportunity to be in your body but also learn dynamic floorwork dance techniques. Hair flicks, spinal waves, undulations, whines, and grinds. This is for you if you want to deepen the feeling by expanding your movements.
Experience a type of magnetic attraction that’s developed from creating time for yourself and establishing personal practices that prioritise your smooth full bodied expression.
It starts, and is perpetuated, with your curiosity.
That inner desire to play and have an affect and adore yourself.
This is a curated experience for embodying your full field of feminine expression.
An opportunity to immerse in movement, music, space and your bodies desires.
This body of yours can access the experiences of enhanced flow, fun, freedom, pleasure, sensuality, trust, magnetism, confidence, and vitality; and that will draw into how you move through the rest of your life.
WHAT’S INVOLVED?
✓ Weekly Meditations and Grounding Circles throughout our Course are how we arrive on time, regulate to the same rhythm and get to connect with our sisters, please don’t be late for it, you don’t want to miss it.
✓ Each week we’ll move through a Signature Warm Up Sequence to intelligently awaken our bodies.
✓ We’ll flow into learning unique Foorwork, Sensual and even Liquid Fusion Dance Movements with Anatomy Techniques that progressively develop into smooth linking Dance Patterns and Sequences.
✓ This gives us access to Choreography Development and Musicality Practice with one dominant song that we’ll be devoting the Course and our Dance to.
✓ You’ll have access to ongoing support between classes in a WhatsApp Group Chat where we’ll also be uploading video recordings of our choreography so you can practice at home.
✓ Throughout the second half of the Course you might start to feel confident to try filming your own dance practice, so feel free to bring a tripod or a selfie stick to get the shot.
✓ We’ll also be moving into sister work by performing for each other and the Final Class offers us the opportunity to get dressed up, dressed down, or dress the same as usual, and invite a friend or maybe even your partner to come watch your dance. This is completely optional and will be decided by the group.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED FOR THE COURSE
— Warm layers will be ideal for our weekly Connection Circles at the beginning of class. The studio is designed with a lot of concrete so don’t underestimate bringing these layers that you can remove when we start our Warm Ups and Dance Practice.
— Thick leggings or pants like thermals, track pants, sweat pants and socks will be the best as we’ll be sliding and rolling around on the floor.
— You can wear any type of top, you may like to wear long sleeve for when you are in contact with the floor but this is less necessary and really up to personal preference.
— Knee pads are essential for your comfort and ability to explore this dance style well, please don’t forget or delay acquiring your knee pads! You can search online for dance or pole knee pads.
— Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated.

Bella Fuego
It’s been a beautiful journey over the last 4 Years Teaching Embodied Sensual Floorwork Dance.
After a 9 month break from teaching In-Person Classes, I’m so pleased to be returning to the Northern Beaches of Sydney for the Winter and offering one of my only In-Person Courses of 2025.
Frequently Asked Questions:
-
This course is designed for beginners, whilst a little body awareness will help, the purpose of this course is to offer accessible movements for anyone to develop and experience sensory dance that can lead to feelings of grace and confidence.
-
We trust that our style of choreography will be interesting for experienced dancers and that you’ll find the sequencing very fluid and pleasing, as well you’ll have full access to further insights on body anatomy to articulate refined movements, which we always offer if we feel students are available to understand.
-
Please dress however you feel expressive, confident and also comfortable for movement, however I recommend thick pants and socks to make sure you can slide on the floor easily. Knee pads are essential for this dance style. Some warm layers will be ideal for the beginning of class.
-
This is a somewhat dynamic style, however the technique is learnt and executed slowly, anatomically and mindfully. We explore floorwork from: seated, kneeling, rolling around, manoeuvring our body with weight over our wrists, circulating our hips, articulating the spinal column, head rolls, and maybe even rolling our body over our shoulders, with all that in mind, please feel welcome to attend if you are comfortable that you can communicate and manage your injuries.
