Bek kelly
Bek Kelly began her dance journey at the age of 15 and has since then gone on to develop her own performance style characterised by punchy movements and a cheeky attitude. Since her introduction to dance, Bek explored classic and contemporary bellydance before finding her true love in tribal and fusion bellydance, as well as exploring ballet and latin dance. Bek's dedication to her training and desire to learn from the best have resulted in regular classes with locally loved teachers as well as travels overseas to learn from some of the best names in bellydance.
In her 10+ years of performing Bek has graced stages large and small, both locally, interstate and internationally. From large scale events such as Rainbow Serpent Festival, to formal stage shows such as the Lumiere show, to countless intimate haflas and corporate events, Bek's performance opportunities have been varied and extensive.
Bek has worked in many group projects such as Antaresia Tribal and Tejomaya, as well as performing as a soloist. As well as working in groups and as a soloist, Bek has had the opportunity to collaborate with internationally renowned DJ's and music artists such as Chamberlain, Govinda and Grouch in Dub.
