Gillian C – Exhale Dance Instructor

Gillian Cofsky began her bellydance journey in 2002 on Vancouver Island at the age of 15. Since then she has become well known in the dance community through teaching, performing, and always learning. She is a founding member of the tribal bellydance troupe, Luciterra, performing around Vancouver at events such as Work Less Party PARTY, In the House Festival, and Dollhouse Studios.

Gillian was among the first to attend a Bellyfit® Instructor Training in 2007, after which she achieved her BCRPA Group Fitness Leader certification. As the first active Bellyfit® instructor in Vancouver, Gillian is proud to be currently teaching several Bellyfit® and bellydance classes around the Greater Vancouver area (www.bellyfit.ca/gilliancofsky). You can see her on the instructional TV series ‘Shimmy’ (www.shimmy.tv), in the ‘Bellyfit Earth’ instructional DVD for home use, and soon teaching bellydance on www.myyogaonline.com.

Gillian finds joy and inspiration in the dance and fitness world, and the community of women that accompanies it, and strives to share this gift with many others in the future.

Gillian’s Bellyfit® Class

The evolution of fusion fitness for women, Bellyfit® is a full body, full of spirit, highly effective exercise experience.

Each class is a seamless fusion of movements inspired by the science of Western fitness, the style and beauty of Cultural Dance, and the power of spiritual practices and philosophies from the East.

In the first half of the class, burn mega calories, relieve stress, and get the sweat flowing with fun, easy to learn cardio moves infused with bellydance, bollywood, Bhangra, and African dance.

During the second half of the class, enjoy sculpting, toning, and tightening with pilates-inspired core work and a relaxing yoga-inspired stretch.

Ancient wisdom meets modern fitness, all in one transformational hour.
