Treubh Dannsa
I am so grateful to the lovely Angela Campbell for introducing me to Belly Dance. I am a member of her troupe, Treubh Dannsa, attending lessons every week and performing Angela's choreographies (and occasionally my own) in the Falkirk area and beyond. I also cover for these classes when needed.

Esk Academy of Dance
As a child and teenager, I studied ballet and tap under the tutorage of Beryl Couper, at the Esk Academy of Dance in Montrose.
I am a Dance Cohesion Trained Teacher, hear what Dance Cohesion have to say:
"Jo Fraser is now an official Dance Cohesion Stage 1 Trained Teacher!
Jo dances to convey the emotions that a piece of music elicits within. She strives to develop technical proficiency, to move sharply and precisely to give visible form to music. She also enjoys slow and flowing pathways and experimenting with conveying different emotions, be it strength or sensuality. Jo has experience in a variety of styles and skills related to bellydance including raqs sharqi, fusion, frame drum, and finger cymbals. She is eager to inspire and share the joy of dance with her students as a reliable mentor on their dance journey." The Cohesion Collective, 23/08/2023
