What Victorian Educators are saying...
The moment Azura stepped into the room, the children were mesmerised. Azura is a gifted storyteller and musician who had everybody spellbound by her stories and dancing to the rhythm of the drums.
Zareen, Brunswick Free Kinder
Azura was fantastic! She was very patient and calm but also super engaging! The kids loved it and felt comfortable to join in. Was age appropriate, connected dance and story telling and explained about Middle Eastern culture in a really kid friendly way.
We could not recommend this incursion enough! Thank you Azura, the incursion was incredibly enjoyable for the kids and teachers!
Emily, Amsleigh Park Primary School
The Jungle Shimmy Program benefits children’s development and learning by promoting gross/fine motor skills and physical activity through dancing and playing musical instruments. It also excites the children and builds cultural awareness through the variety of music/language used.
The program supports memory development e.g., learning dance routines, and foreign language through songs.
The children are always engaged with the performer as she is consistently smiling, positive and energetic.

That we can do this in such a warm and nurturing community of like-minded soulds is FAAAAAAAANTASTIC!
Sandra
For me being a shy person I never could have imagined getting up in front of people and dancing. I did it and loved it! The whole experience was amazing.
Anna
Bellydance with Azura’s Oasis has been an important part of my life and growth over the last six years. Bellydance has been an exciting, fun and crazy adventure that has given me a confidence and understanding of my own body and the opportunity to form fantastic friendships. At the end of a day, a bellydance show or class is always certain to lift my spirits.

Face Painting
Face Painting is a sure crowd pleaser, popular at Festivals, Kids Parties, Themed Functions, Shopping Centres, Sporting and Corporate Events.
Children love being transformed into their favourite animal or super hero. Azura’s quick, quirky and original designs feature gorgeous color combinations, beautiful linework, glitter and jewels.
But who says Face Painting is just for kids? Face Painting is also popular with adults, especially gorgeous floral patterns and funky asymmetrical designs on the face, decolletage, shoulders, back and upper arm.

60-minute Interactive Floorshow Spectacular
For Senior Events and Aged Care Facilities
I have been a Professional Bellydancer, Educator and Entertainer for over 25 years.
After obtaining my Certificate IV in Leisure and Health in 2020, I commenced employment as a Lifestyle Assistant at Twin Parks and Royal Freemasons.
Working with the elderly has changed my outlook on life, and brought new meaning to my work as an Entertainer. Inspiring audiences to move and express themselves has always been my motivation and brought me great happiness. Working with the elderly has opened my heart in ways I never thought possible.
I developed these Active Programs to suit the needs of residents living in Aged Care and bring a sense of joy and celebration into the home.
I hope you can join me on the next adventure!
Testimonials
Azura always added a little bit of extra spark to the activities she ran. She made the residents feel extra special and happy. She always had a smile on her face.
Sandra Slaviero (daughter of Bruna Mondin D9)
I want to thank you from my heart for offering your exhilarating classes. I used to dance a lot and it was the only thing that brought joy to every part of my being. I can feel the energy flow through my body and the release of tightly held moments that got stuck in my body. I am happily dancing along with you and it's ok that one arm doesn't work properly.
Anna Couttieour
Azura showed a talent in developing innovative and engaging programs for our residents. One activity of note was her Sunday Swing-A-Long program; we received fantastic feedback from our residents and their families. Azura developed a great rapport with residents, including those who normally tended to keep to themselves.
