【Our Stage Is the Whole World! 🌍】★ A Fully Global May: Streaming from Canada, Malaysia & Singapore | New Choreography, Travel Yoga, Arabic Lyrics Workshop & More ♩

  



Hello! I’m Nadia, a Japanese belly dancer based in Singapore.

Lately, I’ve been completely immersed in “Japanese Oriental Fusion” pieces—dancing with a soft, refined Japanese aesthetic… but now I’m starting to feel it again—my inner belly dancer is calling! Doesn’t it feel like it’s time to return to Egyptian music?

For this new term starting this spring, I want to dive fully back into belly dance! I’m ready to shimmy a lot to authentic Egyptian music, so I’ve chosen some energetic, uplifting tracks.

The piece we’ll be working on is “Ouyoun Baheya (Eyes of Baheya)”, a song from 1970s Egypt composed by Baligh Hamdi (also known for songs like “Ana Bastanak” and “Mawood”... etc).

Actually, I choreographed this piece once about 10 years ago and performed it at Tokyo Ailara and many more various shows—it was always very well received. This time, I’ll be teaching an updated 2026 version of the choreography!



Using feather fans or an assaya can really elevate the performance and make it incredibly exciting!

I did consider it, but for the lessons, we’ll first focus on dancing with just the body—no props. If the body isn’t properly trained and expressive, then using props loses its meaning, so we’ll continue building strong technique and control.

For those who want to incorporate props in performances, you’ll be able to add and adapt them into the finished choreography, so it becomes your own expression. I’ll be designing the choreography with that flexibility in mind.

(And just between us… I think I’ll probably use props in my own show lol. I’m scheduled to perform at Tokyo Ailara this summer after a long time, and I’m secretly thinking I might dance this piece there 😊)

　


When dancing to vocal music, it’s always important to understand the meaning of the lyrics!

I’ve invited Ehab-sensei to host a special “Ouyoun Baheya” lyrics lecture. I actually took this same class with him five years ago, and it was extremely insightful, so I’ve asked him to offer the same content again.

If you would like to join, please let me know:
suenadia@gmail.com

We will be sharing bilingual (Japanese & English) lyric sheets and study materials.

The “Ayoun Baheiya” lyrics lecture will also be available as an archive recording, accessible for one month.

The schedule is attached below.





May will be fully global 🌍

I, Nadia, will be traveling back and forth between Singapore, Canada, and Malaysia. (In Canada, I’ll be teaching workshops and performing across three cities, and in Malaysia I’ll be performing on stage and serving as a competition judge.) It’s going to be a true test of stamina as I move through a very full schedule!

I truly feel that my stage is the entire Earth. There are still so many vast and exciting experiences waiting ahead.

With just this small body of mine, carrying only one weapon—dance—I want to continue crossing borders, traveling across countries, and dancing wherever I go.


　　



The new term starts this week and will run until mid-July!
 
I’ve selected choreography pieces that are fun and enjoyable to dance to, so let’s build up our energy and head into summer with full momentum and excitement!




TABI YOGA (Travel Yoga), held while connecting via Zoom from different countries—how many countries has it reached by now?

This time, I’ll be heading to Canada, where my lovely student Julie—who has warmly invited me for workshops and shows—has also organized everything on the ground. I’m planning to do TABI YOGA from her home, together with her adorable cat, and maybe even her boyfriend too 😊

I’ll be “stepping through the screen” and joining the other side, so to speak.

In fact, we are almost on opposite sides of the globe! When it’s 8:00 PM in Singapore, it’s 8:00 AM in Canada. So I’ll be offering evening yoga from Singapore as a morning yoga session from Canada.

Before and after the session, we may also have some casual travel chat with Julie—if everyone is still awake 😄

“NADIA ONLINE” signature TABI YOGA will be included as a free bonus for May participants.


Due to time differences:


Japan time: 9:00 PM
Singapore time: 8:00 PM start

For those who are not members of NADIA ONLINE, drop-in participation is available at $35 per session. Please DM for registration.

New term starts Thursday, April 30 ✨
For lesson inquiries and registration, please contact via DM.

NADIA ONLINE also offers unlimited access to yoga classes.

It is a very affordable monthly membership, allowing you to join as many yoga and belly dance classes as you like—from the comfort of your own home.

Our highly popular “Bijin Yoga (Beautiful Woman Yoga)” is held four times a week. Even complete beginners are welcome to join.

This “Bijin Yoga” taught by Nadia is truly something special—the lymphatic flow work is almost miraculous, and many participants notice that their face looks visibly smaller the next day.

Small face ✨ lifted hips ✨ defined waist!

Let’s shape the body steadily and beautifully as we move toward summer.







Nadia’s studio classes, which have been receiving great feedback, are now open.

The studio is located just one stop by bus from Orchard Road, in the heart of Singapore. Although it is in the city center, it feels like stepping into a quiet forest—surrounded by greenery with a beautiful pool view. It is a space designed to offer inspiration and a joyful belly dance experience.

Participants with children are also very welcome.
The classes are women-only, fully reservation-based, and held in small groups of around 10 people.

There is no registration fee.
Trial classes and drop-ins are available.

We offer two classes every Friday and Saturday at 11:00 AM:

  • 60 minutes of fundamentals
  • 60 minutes of choreography

Students who attend the studio classes can also join the online lessons (fundamentals, choreography, and yoga). This means that if you miss a studio class, you can easily catch up through online lessons and recorded videos—so you can learn the choreography without worry.

Trial lessons and drop-ins are available at $35 for a 60-minute class.
Please feel free to contact us anytime.

2026 May–July Term 3: Egyptian Oriental “Ouyoun Baheya”

Period: April 30 (Thu) START – July 13 (Mon) completion

The choreography and technique content are the same for both online and studio classes.

  • Studio classes: 2 times per week (Friday & Saturday)
  • Online classes: 3 times per week (Thursday, Sunday, Monday)

A total of 5 classes per week, covering the same choreography and fundamentals, are taught repeatedly by Nadia. You may attend any day, as often as you like.

Studio classes require advance reservation, managed via group chat. Online classes do not require reservations.

Even if you miss a class, videos will be sent to you, so you can fully learn one complete choreography.

→ One choreography completed in 8 weeks / includes 8 music tracks & choreography videos

Pricing

■ Studio: $380 (8 weeks) – unlimited access
Includes: choreography, fundamentals, yoga, unlimited access to studio & online classes, choreography videos, and more.

■ Trial / Drop-in: $35 (60 minutes)




  



Don’t give up on starting just because there’s no teacher nearby… or because there isn’t a belly dance school in your area… or because the atmosphere of some studios feels too intimidating to step into.

“NADIA ONLINE on ZOOM” is a popular online program that began during the COVID-19 period.

Camera on/off is completely optional, and you are free to join or leave anytime during the class. If you feel shy about being seen while dancing, you can simply keep your camera off. On the other hand, if you want to accelerate your growth by dancing with your camera on, you are also welcome to do so.

You can participate in the way that best suits your own pace, comfort level, and learning style.








With 20 years of professional experience, Nadia has performed in over 500 shows across Singapore and various parts of Asia, and has taught more than 1,000 students of different nationalities.

Classes are conducted in a bilingual format (Japanese & English).

She also has extensive experience as a judge in international competitions, so feel free to ask anything—from beginner guidance to professional-level training. She offers a wide range of support including competition preparation, health and body conditioning, teacher training, and teaching consultations.

【活動の舞台は地球だよ】★ 5月は丸っとグローバル！カナダ・マレーシア・シンガポールから配信！新作振付・旅ヨガ・アラビア語講座ほか..

 


こんにちは！シンガポール在住の日本人ベリーダンサー、ナディアです。
　
しばらく「和フュージョン」作品に沼っておりましてw、「しっとり」日本人の美意識で踊ってきたから、あれ？なんだかそろそろ「ベリーダンサー」の血が騒ぐ... エジプト音源が恋しい感じがしない？


この春スタートの新タームでは、久しぶりにガッツリと「ベリーダンス」が踊りたい！エジプト音源でたくさんシミーしたい！と思いまして、ガンガン、ノリノリの選曲をしています。原曲は70年代のエジブト、私が大好きなバリーグ・ハムディ作曲（アナバスタナック・マウードなど作曲した人ね）の「アユン・バヘイヤ（バヘイヤの瞳）」という曲を振付し踊っていきます。実はこの曲は、10年ほど前に一度、振付したことがあり、東京アイララや、各種ショーなどでもたくさん踊り大好評だった曲です。これを2026年バージョンの振付にバージョンアップして教えていきます。



フェザーファンやアサヤを使って踊っても、すごく盛り上がるね！迷いましたが、レッスンでは一旦、小道具なしの身体一本で踊る稽古をしていきます。小道具使えても身体使えてないと本末転倒なので、身体作りは引き続きしていきましょう。パフォーマンスの時に小道具を入れたい人は、仕上がった振付に小道具を差し込んで、アレンジできるようにしましょう！（それを意識しながら振付を進めていきますね）


⇨ ナディアは多分、自分のショーには小道具を入れると思うw（今年の夏に久しぶりに東京アイララ出演決まっているのでこれ踊ろうかな？って密かに思っています）


　


さて。歌物を踊るときは歌詞の意味が知りたいですね！

イハーブ先生にお時間作っていただき、「アユン・バヘイヤ」歌詞講座を依頼しました。私は5年前にこの歌詞講座を先生から習っているのですが、とても内容が良かったので、同じ内容をお願いしてあります。受講希望者は、ナディアまでお知らせください。

suenadia@gmail.com


日英の歌詞カード・教材を共有していきます。「アユン・バヘイヤ」歌詞講座は、アーカイブ受講OK、録画は１ヶ月間見れるようにします。


スケジュールを下記の通り添付いたします。






5月は丸っと、グローバルw。


ナディアはシンガポール、カナダ、マレーシアを行ったり来たり.. （カナダは3都市でワークショップ & ショー、マレーシアではショー出演・コンペ審査員のお仕事で出張予定）、体力勝負で駆け抜けます！


自分の活動舞台は、地球だと思っているので、壮大な楽しみが、まだまだ沢山あります。ちっぽけな私の身体に、たった一つ、ダンスという武器を抱えて、国境を跨ぎ、たくさん、旅をしながら踊り続けていきたいです。



　　




新タームは、今週スタート、7月中旬まで！楽しく踊れる課題曲を選曲したので、夏に向かってエネルギーを爆上げしていきましょう！






旅先で、ZOOMでつながり、ヨガをする「旅ヨガ」も、これで何国目でしょうか？
　
　
今回は、カナダへ全力でナディアを招致してくれ、ワークショップ・ショーのオーガナイズをしてくれた私の可愛い教え子、ジュリーの自宅にて、可愛い猫ちゃんと、ボーイフレンドも一緒に？旅ヨガをやりたいと思っています。
　
画面を飛び越えて、ナディアは、あちら側へいきます笑。
　


なんと、完全なる地球の裏側に位置していてw、シンガポールの夜8時はカナダの朝8時なのです。シンガポールの夜ヨガを、カナダの朝ヨガとしてお届けしますねw。ヨガの前後で、ジュリーと一緒に、旅の雑談も、(皆が眠くなければ) しましょうね！
　
　
NADIA ONLINE名物、「旅ヨガ」は、5月受講者に無料ボーナスでおつけします。時差の関係で、日本時間9時、シンガポール時間8時スタートの夜ヨガとなります！カナダは早朝8時より、ジュリー自宅のキッチンより配信します。ぜひ、繋がってください。

夏に向けて、確実に作っていこう。







大好評いただいている、ナディアが教えるスタジオレッスン。

【Now on YouTube - Free Viewing♩】Zipang-TheONE- 2026 : NADIA 〜 Moonlit Dance Princess 〜 (SAKURA / CURFEW / STORM)

 


　
★ 𝗔 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗳 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲「𝗭𝗶𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗴-𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗢𝗡𝗘- 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲」 — 𝗘𝗽𝗶𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘂𝗲
　　
I first went abroad in my teens, studied in the United States, and later moved to Singapore. I have spent more than half of my life overseas. I have always carried Japan in my heart, observing it from the outside.
　

The Japan I believe in—and the aesthetic of the Japanese people—originates from the ancient spiritual beliefs that existed before Buddhism was introduced from China around the 6th century.
　

In the Kojiki, there is the concept of yaoyorozu no kami—the belief that gods dwell in all things. We place our hands together in prayer, purify ourselves, and maintain inner discipline. We cherish silence, revere nature, and believe that waterfalls, trees, rocks, cherry blossoms, thunder, the sun—all are divine. We live each day with a sense of prayer and gratitude.
　

There are no scriptures or founders in this belief system, yet we value living “purely and rightly,” and we carry the sense that even when no one is watching, “the gods are watching.” I believe this mindset has helped preserve Japan’s order and its unique sense of dignity—something not found elsewhere in Asia—through to the present day.
　

Before culture or tradition, I feel this is the most essential spirit—one that must be protected moving forward.
　

In my family home in Kanazawa, there is a kamidana (household shrine). My mother changes the water every day, offers sakaki (a sacred plant believed to house the divine), and prays. Since childhood, this ritual was repeated every morning as something entirely natural. I believe it purified and protected me as well.

　
Because I live abroad, people sometimes jokingly ask, “Nadia, are you even Japanese?” (laughs). But I have never once forgotten my identity as a Japanese person.
　

Rather, my Japanese nationality and ethnic identity have been like armor—something I wear as I move forward and face challenges. Living and working in Singapore and across Asia means being surrounded by sharp, business-savvy Chinese professionals, highly rational and forward-thinking Singaporeans, and talented individuals from all over the world. If you let your guard down even slightly, you could lose your visa and be out of the game instantly (laughs).
　

Completing the Zipangu Project together with all the members has become a great source of confidence for me.
　　

Our dance works cannot convey meaning through words like musicals or plays can. That is precisely why they must be experienced through the five senses.
　

Through what is seen, heard, and felt—through movement and visual expression—we aimed to create something that speaks to the Japanese heart. That was our hope throughout this journey.
　

One audience member shared this message:　

“There was a gentle compassion that stayed close to Japan, while at the same time, I felt a sense of urgency about Japan’s present and future.”

I was truly happy that someone could put our intentions into words and resonate with them.

　
To me, dancing is entertainment for the audience—a dream. It is also healing for oneself, and a way to express the language of the soul.
　
I would love to hear your thoughts and impressions as well. Please feel free to share them in the comments or via DM.
　

Thank you for reading this long message.
Enjoy watching the show on YouTube!

【ジパング作品の世界観を少しだけ解説】― 𝙚𝙥𝙞𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙪𝙚 ✨ 　
　　　　
10代で初めて海外へ飛び出し、アメリカ留学を経てシンガポールへ移住。私は人生の半分以上を海外で過ごしてきました。いつも「日本」を想いながら、外から日本を見ています。
私が考える日本、そして日本人の美学とは、6世紀ごろに中国から仏教が伝来する以前、古代日本人が大切にしてきた宗教観から生まれたものだと思っています。
　　　　
　　　　
『古事記』に描かれた八百万（やおよろず）の神。すべての物事に神が宿り、手を合わせ、清め、身を整える。静寂を愛し、自然を崇拝し、滝、木、岩、桜、雷、太陽を神として信じ、祈りと感謝の心をもって日々を生きる。
　　　　　
　　　　
経典も教祖様も存在しない宗教観ですが、私たちは「清く、正しく在ること」を大切にし、誰も見ていなくても「神様が見ている」と信じられる民族性を持っています。
　　　　　
　　　　
そんな美学が日本の秩序を保ち、他のアジアにはない唯一無二の「品格」を今日まで守ってきたように感じています。
　　　　
　　　　　
それは文化や伝統を語る以前に、最も重要で、これからも守られるべき精神だと思うのです。
　　　　
　　　　　
私が生まれ育った金沢の実家にも神棚があり、母は毎日、水を替え、榊（神様が宿る植物）を供え、手を合わせます。子供の頃から、それが当たり前のように毎朝繰り返され、私自身も清められ、守られてきたのだと思います。
　　　　　
　　　　
海外に拠点があることで「ナディアさんは外人？」と茶化されることもありますが笑、一度も自分が日本人であるという意識を忘れたことはありません。
　　　　　
　　　　
むしろ、日本国籍と民族的な「アイデンティティと誇り」は鎧となり、それをまとい、闘ってきたように思います。シンガポール、そしてアジアで活動する環境は、商売上手で非常に頭の切れる中国人、合理的で先進的な思考を持つシンガポール人、そして多国籍で優秀な人々に囲まれた世界。少しでも気を抜けばビザが取れず、即ゲームオーバーな現実です笑。
　　　　
　　　　　
このジパングプロジェクトで、メンバー全員と最後まで走り抜けられたことは、私自身にとっても大きな自信となりました。
　　　　　
　　　　
私たちのダンス作品は、ミュージカルやお芝居のように言葉で伝えることができません。だからこそ、五感で感じてもらうしかない。
　　　　　
　　　　
目で見て、耳で聞き、動きや映像といった限られた情報の中で、日本人の心に何かを訴えかける作品でありたい。そう願いながら取り組んできました。
　　　　
　　　　　
あるお客様からは、　
　　　　
「日本に寄り添う優しさがありながら、同時に日本の“今”と“未来”への危機感も感じた作品でした」
　　　　
というメッセージをいただきました。想いを言語化し、共感してくださったことが本当に嬉しかったです。
　　　　　　
　
半年間かけて、この作品を制作する中で、自身の民族性やアイデンティティ、そして踊りに込めた“魂の言葉”、特にオリエンタルダンスを和フュージョンとして表現する意味について何度も考え、向き合う機会を得ました。時に迷いもあり、またメンバーとそれを共有する中で、伝わったり伝わらなかったりで、途中苦しくなることも実際にありましたが（みんなも苦しかったね）、踊り終えた後には、まるで光が差し込むような、腑に落ちる感覚と爽快感に包まれ、皆で泣きました。
　　
　　　　
踊ることは、観衆に向けたエンターテイメント（夢）であり、自分自身への癒しであり、魂の言葉を伝える手段だと、私は思っています。
　
皆様のお考えやご感想も、ぜひ聞かせてください。コメントでも、DMでも大歓迎です。

【New Term Announcement】★ “MATSURI” with brand-new choreography! Belly Dancers’ Flea Market / Canada Workshop Details! and more.. Welcoming new students♩


When I dance “Japanese Oriental Fusion” I feel deeply saved.

The world that Japanese music—born in Japan—carries us into is always beautiful and gentle. It feels as though it is saying, “Welcome home”, my soul feels healed.

Perhaps when we dance, being fully ourselves (while stretching just a little to appear more beautiful), we are traveling back through our own roots. I believe that is what it means to “dance in our blood.”

There is a memorable line spoken by the protagonist in the film Kokuhō (National Treasure):




“I simply want to see the scenery…”



I understand those words so well.

When sound, space, and dance become one, there is a miraculous moment of energy. To exist within that scenery. For the sake of tasting that single instant, perhaps we devote our lives, practice every day, and continue refining our expression. I do, and so does everyone else.






What I value most when dancing “Japanese Oriental Fusion” is the Japanese sense of aesthetics and dignity.

For example:

◾︎ 𝗪𝗮𝗯𝗶-𝘀𝗮𝗯𝗶 : The spirit of finding depth in simple, imperfect, and aged things
◾︎ 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 : A wistful aesthetic appreciation for fleeting, ever-changing things like cherry blossoms
◾︎ 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 : A refined, understated sexiness without pandering
◾︎ 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗢𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿 : A sense of respect for others

etc.. 

　


I believe Japanese dancers likely share these same values when they dance.

And for dancers from outside Japan who choose to learn this style, perhaps they approach it the way we look toward distant lands along the Silk Road—Turkey, Egypt—with admiration and curiosity. If so, we must receive that interest sincerely and pass on our culture with honesty and integrity.

The Japanese aesthetic and sense of dignity, preserved over thousands of years, are treasures worthy of being considered intangible cultural heritage. We should carefully and respectfully incorporate them into our expression of “Japanese Oriental Fusion (JOF).”


Now, I have some news!

This May, for the first time in Canada, NADIA's  “Japanese Oriental Fusion” — JOF (Japanese Oriental Fusion) workshop and show will be hold. It is hosted by my beloved student Julie and her friends, members of NADIA ONLINE. I am truly honored and delighted to bring Japanese culture and belly dance technique to the other side of the world.

Details can be found on the Facebook event page Julie created. If anyone would like to come to Canada, please let me know—I will try to arrange opportunities such as an open stage performance.

I will be teaching three popular pieces — SAKURA SAKURA / CURFEW / STORM — touring Toronto, Quebec, and Montreal with workshops in each city. These cities are easily accessible from North America and Europe, so if you are interested, please come to Canada in early summer to dance, learn, and meet me! :)


　　　　


　　


And now, the announcement you’ve been waiting for: the new term!

As you may have guessed, I am completely immersed in JOF at the moment! ;) I want to pour this passion into my work and share it with you. So this term, we will continue dancing a fusion piece using a Japanese umbrella.

The music will be “MATSURI” from Kitaro’s album Kojiki, a beloved artist popular in Singapore and internationally. We will dance using a Japanese umbrella (wagasa or Asian umbrella) and fan veils.

The very first Wa Fusion choreography I created in 2012 was to “MATSURI” I have taught it in workshops in Japan and overseas, and many students and dancers have performed it. It is a deeply cherished piece.

The album Kojiki, released in 1990, was Kitaro’s musical interpretation of Japan’s Kojiki mythology through his unique cosmic worldview. It became a global hit. I attended several of his concerts in Singapore and was deeply moved watching him perform before enthusiastic audiences.

“MATSURI ” especially evokes the energetic celebration before the Heavenly Rock Cave, where the gods rejoice through the dance and song of Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto.

This term, I will renew the choreography into a 2026 version. Please look forward to it!

Please prepare a Japanese umbrella (wagasa or Asian umbrella) and fan veils.

The new term begins Wednesday, 2/25.

For registration and inquiries, please send me a DM.
Instagram : @nadia_sueoka
















For the first time in a while, we will also hold a flea market for belly dancers!

On Saturday, 3/21, after the studio lesson, we will gather in my home party room. Enjoy champagne and sandwiches while browsing. Bring any belly dance wear or costumes you no longer use. Let’s exchange, sell at friendly prices, and simply enjoy chatting together. I will also bring treasures from the NADIA closet at special prices!

This is a closed event for current term students only. Details will be sent separately.











NADIA’s studio lessons continue to receive wonderful feedback.

The studio is located in central Singapore, just one bus stop from Orchard Road. Although it is in the city, the space feels like stepping into a quiet forest—surrounded by greenery with a beautiful pool view. It is a serene and inspiring environment where you can enjoy a truly happy belly dance experience.

Children are welcome to join.
Reservation required. Women only. Small group setting (approximately 10 students).

No registration fee.
Trial lessons and drop-ins are available.

Classes are held on Fridays & Saturdays from 11am, with two sessions:
60 minutes of Basics and 60 minutes of Choreography.

Studio students may also attend the online classes (Basics, Choreography, and Yoga). This means that if you cannot come to the studio one week, you can easily catch up through online lessons or videos, so you won’t fall behind.

Trial / Drop-in classes are available at $35 for a 60-minute session.
Please feel free to get in touch.
