Yvette is a JWAAD Tutor and teacher of many years’ experience, who specializes in Egyptian, ArabicFusion and Bollywood Dance. Based in Stroud and London, she teaches workshops across the UK and France and is a regular teacher at Fantasia and the JWAAD Summer School.
Yvette discovered her passion for Arabic music and dance by chance while working in a multicultural secondary school in France, thanks to the enthusiastic encouragement of her students - and the many parties to which they invited her!
A founder member of Josephine Wise’s Masriat Dance Company and now a member of JOHARA, Yvette trained with Josephine, Maggie Caffrey and a wide variety of international teachers including Horatio and Beata Cifuentes, Samasem, Youssry Sharif, Leila Haddad, Raquia Hassan and Shareen el Safy.
Known for her joyful, exuberant and heartfelt style, Yvette is passionate about the dance as a form of self-expression and healing. She set up DanceYourselfHappy.com to promote dance as a means of achieving health and wellbeing.
