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.
