About us
Our Story
Our story begins within every woman who has ever felt undeserving, with no sense of belonging, broken, in pain physically or mentally, self-judgemental, lonely, self-critical, was told she's too much or was told to hide, never show her true self. Ultimately, a woman who felt like the world let her down. BAW Dance steps in to offer safe spaces for physical exercise and mental relief for women (cis, trans and non binary) who want to connect with their bodies, make meaningful friendships, connect to an empowering hub of women to thrive in while dancing, laughing, talking and celebrating with no filters, no censorship of our bodies, minds and feelings. A place where you are truly heard, included, loved and unapologetically accepted in.
Our Mission
Our mission at BAW Dance is to provide you with more than just dance classes.
We create safe and empowering spaces for dancing and sharing our feelings to help you break barriers mentally and physically.
Our Impact
More than 600 women have connected and danced with us in London since 2002.
Our members learn and level up their dance skills, make friends, and connect with other women through our beginner belly dance classes, heels and floorwork, and burlesque dance classes in London and online.
Our Values
Community. Self-Love. Diversity. Inclusion. Fun. Learn. Authenticity. Trust. Power. Badass!

What our students say
Helen, Spain
The classes are really fun, the choreography is easy to learn and the teacher makes us feel really motivated and makes sure we are ok every step of the way!
Evelyn, USA
This was my first burlesque class. I felt entirely welcome as a big person, and not treated "special". Nat is a great teacher, and BAW values are in line with social justice and equity. I learned some awesome little tricks that my body can do!
Isabelle, UK
I love movement. I hike 3 miles easily, but have realized I want to have my whole body involved. PLUS MUSIC SEXY FUN TIMES WOMEN POWER!
Alex, UK
I'm really glad I chose to attend these burlesque classes. Though I'm not looking to be professional, it's given me a different view of myself. It's also been helping me to feel less anxious about getting the routine right or how I look doing it, more about just having fun!
