Awakened Bellydance is a multi-faceted, transformative, self-awakening process which travels far beyond the realms of the usual Bellydancer.
Book 1-2-1 Sessions with Katie
Bellydance is a captivatingly beautiful dance filled with mystery and sensuality. Like Yoga it has been around for thousands of years, it has the capability to integrate feminine and masculine energies into the body bringing a person into wholeness and out of the bondage imposed by the self and society.
Dancing through our own perceived blockages within individual and collective journeys we move in soul resonance. Observing what we need to heal, learn and dream we will explore, develop and experience our own innate power. Katie will guide and share her extensive knowledge instilling a gentle confidence inspiring you to continue on your transformational path of ‘dancenlightenment’.
This is an invitation to experience You – to embrace your Awakened Bellydancer!
Trainings with Katie can be life changing! Unique, powerful and fully embodied as Katie supports you to discover your true soul path.
Katie's work is amazing! She is very down to earth, present, and I always feel held and safe with her. 100 % recommend her for personal and relationship growth'
I believe the work of Katie Holland and others is to heal these wounds and empower ourselves to be whole and be the owner of our bodies, the inner flame of our passion and creativity. This shame lives in us as a cultural collective, even if the voice inside is a little one, it is there.
Thank you for your amazing workshop. I learnt so much – you are a brilliant teacher. It was really clear and encouraging too, especially in making sure our moves were not weak and half-hearted but to give it some oomph and feeling and enjoy it. Your passion for the dance is infectious! I so enjoyed learning the choreography. I felt a real sense of achievement after that workshop, especially learning a piece I had seen you perform and enjoyed immensely a day or two before. You make the impossible seem possible. Thank you!
Wow- what can I say? Firstly well done on your amazing performances - you were absolutely breathtaking. I could watch you day in, day out. You truly dance from the heart and have such beautiful emotion.
I really felt moved watching your sacred piece and as for your second piece,…you were on fire! That song was made for you. The whole sassy attitude was simply brilliant. Loved, loved, LOVED it!
I just wanted to say how much I am looking forward to your Bollybelly workshop. I love your workshops having taken five with you over previous years at Majma.
You are such a source of inspiration to me. I can’t wait for your performances too. You are such an exquisite dancer and a warm and brilliant teacher.
I always learn so much from you.
Oh Katie, you really dont know how much working with you and AwBd is transforming my life - I wake up happy, so happy right now I could cry!
I am trusting more than ever that everything happens the way it's meant to happen. That even when the world feels like it's coming down, magic can still take place.
I'm such a different person, yet more myself - the very best version of myself- than I've ever been. And I know there is so much more depth and beauty and power to explore.
I just hadn't realised how much I hadn't wanted to look at, and hidden it from myself with alcohol. It has been great to release what has been coming up for me.The AwBd has really helped me to do that, in a massive way, so I am glad to feed that back to you, and reaffirm how brilliant it is.

Creating a respectful, supportive sisterhood is paramount whilst gently and organically supporting you on an authentic path to self-discovery.
Life force energy is activated and cultivated through hip, belly and full body based movements as we align with the geometric spirals of the universe. This creates a womb space filled with creative and personal power which when nurtured can lead to immense potential as we naturally raise the vibration of our divine self.
The womb space is the heart of Bellydance and a sacred vessel for our true essense. When we allow ourselves to receive, we bring awareness & compassion to our full selves, and give our body permission for expression, love, freedom and joy.
Dancing through our own perceived blockages within individual and collective journeys we move in soul resonance - observing what wants to heal, learn and dream, we explore and experience our innate power.
Connecting womb to heart to de-programme, restructure, unlearn, surrender and activate our bodies’ energetic pathways.
Create a greater level of trust, authenticity and connection in all aspects of your life.
