As a student of life and a teacher of dance Adelaide has made the connection between her knowledge of Belly Dance and the practice of inner discovery. Adelaide understands that becoming in touch with the body enlivens sensitivity, cultivates strength, and gives us a sense of home. In her classes she shares a mixture of spoken knowledge, visualizations, and movement. She explores dance in relation to the charkas as a type of meditative practice in motion. This style of teaching is fairly recent in her career as a teacher. She began teaching in 2005 and has since then brought into her classes the understanding that dance is more than just good exercise. She has gained insight through yoga, world medicine and Qi Gong, yet the intuition brought forth through physical movement and exploration has made clear the link between these spiritual practices and their connection with Belly Dance. Most importantly Adelaide wants to give those who participate the skills and foundation to explore deeper.

Adelaide performs just about every weekend. Adelaide and her sister Leilainia created a dance company called the Shimmy Sisters in 2004, and are now experiencing success in their efforts. Adelaide’s skill and passion as a dancer is undeniable in her performances. The spot light is dim in comparison to the glow she has when she performs for and connects with audience members. Currently Adelaide performs mostly for private parties or corporate events however, has a once a month public show at Portugalia restaurant. This show every is every 1^st Friday of the month and is particularly fun for Adelaide as she dances with friends and family to live music by Danyavaad (part of their Nomads entertainment company).
