LOST, UNHEALTHY AND UNHAPPY to EMPOWERED AND FIERCE
I was overweight, depressed, broke, had an office job that I absolutely hated, was a single mom, and no matter what I tried I just could not get a grip on my life. Then one day I discovered the most unorthodox solution to all my problems…. I discovered a book on Belly Dancing. A book that would soon change my life and what I’m about to share may do the same for you too!
Once I started reading the benefits of Belly Dancing, I got more and more interested in learning it. I found time in the early mornings at home to watch Belly Dance DVDs to do it before heading off for work. I realized quickly that the benefits I’d only read about were starting to take effect in my mind, body and soul. Something amazing happened in the next few months. I started feeling better in my skin, and even though I wasn’t at my dream weight yet, I started feeling beautiful and worthy. The movements of this feminine dance made me feel connected to myself and connected as a woman.
Soon, my life began to change. Opportunities started showing up. I was becoming a strong independent woman who didn’t need a man to make me happy. I relished being a role model for my daughter, and most of all, I felt like I was finally on the right path to happiness.
Yes, I lost over 70lbs dancing my butt off (literally)! but the weight loss wasn’t the only thing that made me happy. It was the sense of femininity that pulsed through me when I Belly-Danced. It was the sense of accomplishment I felt when I committed to doing it every day and it was the overall spiritual connection to myself that truly made me shine. Let’s get real. The gym could never do this for me. Fitness classes couldn’t do this for me, but dancing did.
If you’re willing to try something different for yourself, this might be a life-changer.

“Hello Joany… I recently discovered your channel and I have been trying to learn belly dance online.. It’s difficult learning alone just looking at the videos for a complete beginner. I must tell you your videos are really good. U take it really slow and I can catch up with ur movements.. Plus I see improvements in my movements too.. So thank you for these videos

“When I started to plan in bringing Joany up to Kirkland Lake to offer “The Art of Belly Dancing” workshops, little did I know I was starting a craze! In no time we had two levels going and due to the interest, we have expanded by offering the workshops in two other communities in the Temiskaming area. Comments from students’ evaluations ranges from “Belly Dancing is like doing exercise but not knowing it, since Joany makes it so much fun”, to “Since I have started to Belly Dance with Joany, I find that I have improved my physical and neurological functions. I can do things I wasn’t able to do physically and I have a better self-image of myself” and furthermore “I did not realize how much I hid away my feminine side. I feel I have found a part of myself I hadn’t seen in a while”. All in all, we are very proud in having Joany part of our team of professional trainers and are looking forward in offering more of these workshops in the future.”

“Joany’s approach to body movement and dance is beautifully unique. It’s not about following her moves, but about finding the rhythm within. From this space and place of self love, body confidence, and freedom, women shift from dimming their light to lighting the world on fire.”
— Lisa Steidman
“What makes Joany unique is where other instructors fail. Joany exudes passion, charisma, and enthusiastic energy that motivates and super-charges her audience. Many belly dancers know the moves, but it is how you present those moves that creates that special connection between instructor and fitness dance enthusiast; this is where Joany excels.”

” Early last fall, I noticed that my aunt had lost a lot of weight. When I asked her how she did it, I was stunned to hear that she was attending belly-dancing classes with Joany. She went on to explain that the dance was a lot of fun and did wonders not only for her weight problem but also for her overall wellbeing. Wanting to lose weight myself since my husband and I were trying to conceive for the past year, I signed up for the next session. I wondered if it would work: I had tried so many programs and gyms, but nothing worked. I could not lose any weight. I started dancing in early November. By the end of December, I had lost 15 pounds. By the end of January, I found out that I was pregnant. I feel fantastic! Not only do I look great, but my self-esteem has improved. Thank you, Joany, for helping me reach a few of my goals.”
— Mélanie St.Amour Moon
”I wanted to let you know that you are causing a major buzz in this area! Everyone is talking about your workshop and how incredible you are!
The comments on the evaluations were also excellent: “it was perfect!”, “extremely well done”, “fun and no pressure”, “it was all GOOD!”, “wonderful support of the instructor with the group”.
They love you!
People started calling me first thing this week to ask about next session. I am so pleased with the whole experience.
I myself feel the same way about your workshop. You are an excellent instructor! Not only do you know your stuff and break it down so that everyone understands, but you are also very supportive to everyone, even in such a large group!
I just wanted to let you know all this positive stuff! Bonne journée!!!”

“My name is Tony Rausseo. I am a professional dancer, choreographer and instructor. I am quite happy to have met Joany Gauvreau. I’ve known Joany since 2003. Miss Gauvreau teaches Belly Dancing. After working with her for a good while, I can simply say that she is definitely a source of inspiration as well as great promoter of health, well-being and entertainment for hundreds of people, especially women concerned about their bodies and their general appearance. I have a high regard for her abilities and her motivational skills. As a professional belly dance instructor, she is inspiring, neat, accurate, passionate and very professional. Her character and personality are commendable. After watching her work with her students, I have noticed that she has always displayed the ability to learn and adapt to any situation quickly, the desire to do a first-rate quality job, and a willingness to put in as much time as needed to see the students learn this beautiful form of art. Needless to say, she is a winner in my book. If anyone ever wishes to take a belly dance class, I would suggest visiting her class.
Bravo Joany! “
