The IPF Bellyfit LIVE team, (DJ em.ash, Leanne Zdebiak-Eni and Lotuswear), is extremely pleased to host Bellyfit LIVE Community Celebrations to help raise awareness and funds for a variety of charities and non-profit groups around the Comox Valley.

What is Bellyfit?
Bellyfit® is a fun and fresh combination of moves for women, inspired by Bellydance, African dance and Bollywood plus an intelligent infusion of yoga, pilates and meditation.
Bellyfit Live™ is when a Bellyfit instructor teams up with a DJ to offer a ‘live’, extra long Bellyfit class. The energy created by the live mixing of tracks adds an incredible energy to both the instructor and the participants, creating an experience that goes beyond a workout and into the realm of community celebration and unity.
No previous Bellyfit or dance experience is required. Just a willingness to move your body to awesome music and help out our community. We encourage girls aged 8 and up to join in on the fun! Please wear clothes you can move & sweat in, clean runners and bring your water bottle and yoga mat if you have one.
