Loving the beat to help improve self-esteem
Datchet: Inner Dance teacher invites women to take part in belly dancing classes
A dancer from Datchet who runs belly dancing classes is encouraging others to give it a go to improve ‘spiritual, emotional and mental wellbeing’.
Kamna Sarna established her dance company, Love the Beat, 10 years ago to share her passion.
She began dancing at the age of seven to improve her confidence after she was bullied at school.
“Dancing has always helped me because it’s something I’ve always known I’m good at and it’s something which belongs to me. I have been able to champion this with other people.”
As a teacher, Kamna has seen women from all kinds of circumstances and said she finds it rewarding when her sessions are able to help people.
“People with low selfesteem can use dancing as a way to overcome their anxieties. It’s a way of regaining power,” Kamna said.
Dancing has played a significant role in helping her overcome personal tragedy following the death of her father when she was 15.
She learned Inner Dance, which is guided by emotions rather than choreographed routines.
Now a trained Inner Dance facilitator, Kamna hopes to integrate the unique style into Love the Beat.
“Once I decided to start rebuilding my life, dance has played a huge part in that.
“Love the Beat is an exclusive organisation dedicated to helping people in the community regardless of their age, ethnicity, shape, size. Anyone is welcome.”
Kamna runs a belly dancing class at 11.30am every Sunday at Langley Leisure Centre in Parlaunt Road.
