Women Just Wanna Dance for Fun!

I've loved dancing since I was little, but I never had the chance to do it as often or as much as I wanted. I always dreamed of dancing just for fun, without having to follow any choreography—because honestly, I’ve never liked that! As I grew older and life got busier with work and responsibilities, I had less time for fun. I’d always tell myself, “Let me finish this task first, and then I’ll play.” But, as you know, the tasks never end, right? Especially when you have a family, it feels like there’s barely time to take care of yourself.

When I finally decided to prioritize myself and dance again, I started looking for places where I could dance freely—expressing myself through movement, without competition or pressure. But I couldn’t find what I was looking for. The options were often geared towards younger people or involved structured dancing.

So, I decided to take the lead and create that space myself, right here in Metchosin, for women over 40. A place where we can come together to dance, have fun, unleash our inner child, laugh, and forget about the responsibilities and seriousness of life for a little while.

This space is flirt-free and shame-free—it’s all about dancing and having fun. No judgment, no competition, just pure joy and connection.

Please register and pay online first to secure your spot—no drop-ins. Thanks, and looking forward to seeing you happy, free, unleashing your dancing talent, and having fun!

Welcome to our vibrant community of women 40 and over who share a love for dancing! Our group is a safe and supportive space where you can let loose, enjoy yourself, and connect with others who share your passion for play.

We believe in the power of dance as a form of self-expression, creativity, and the flow of energy. Whether you’re a seasoned dancer or someone who hasn’t danced in years, this is the perfect place for you to explore movement in a relaxed environment. Here, you’ll find a welcoming community that embraces individuality and celebrates every body, every story, and every step.

HOUNAIDA BELLASFAR PICTURE

From Heartbreak to Freedom: My Personal Path.

As a Grief Recovery Specialist and Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, I help people connect with their hearts and embrace their authentic selves, leading them toward joy and peace. My approach guides individuals to improve their emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.

What fuels my passion is creativity, freedom, guiding others, traveling, and exchanging love with animals. When I turned 40, I transformed my life for the better; I had never been happier. However, I recently faced the profound loss of my partnership, my family, my love, my dreams, and my best friend and confidant. I was devastated and felt betrayed, sad, disappointed, and let down.

Yet, amidst the intense hurt, I found my strength and made a conscious choice to transform these feelings. I never imagined I would post a video of myself dancing, but the urge in my heart was so powerful that it motivated me to let go of fear and do it anyway.

My commitment is to empower you through dance, just as I empowered myself. I am celebrating the beginning of a new chapter in my life filled with love, dancing, freedom, creativity, joy, and playfulness. If this resonates with you, you have to join us!

"Join us and discover the joy of dancing together, embracing our inner children, and creating lasting memories in a fun-filled atmosphere!"

  • It was a safe and fun place to be.

  • I feel alive, connected, and happy!

    Sometimes we spontaneously accept to take a course without knowing what it will bring us. This is what I discovered with Grief Recovery. Of course, it was liberating to complete the past, to be at peace with my father, my mother, and the important people who are or have been in my life.

    Since then I have been discovering the results I got after being able to speak in a meeting where I didn't know anyone without being afraid, making choices so that my day goes smoothly, prioritizing myself, and being happy to help others without doing it in an obligatory way, packing my bags before leaving on a trip without stressing myself, simply enjoying the trip that is coming and so much more.

    Thank you Hounaïda for making me see hidden sides and for accompanying me in a professional way on this liberating path. Thank you for allowing me to reconnect with my feelings and emotions, I feel alive, connected, and happy!

  • I found it very helpful.

    I recently went through a grief workshop with @hounaidabellasfar and I found it very helpful. The workshop not only helps you work through the sharp grief you may feel after the death of a loved one but also helps you realize how many losses you have actually had in your life and the grief that may be compounding inside. ❤️

  • My life is better now than ever.

    I believe going through the Grief Recovery program with my father as the focus, allowed me a safe place to start opening up other relationships.

    For many reasons, my life is better now than ever. I am filled with purpose, intention, love, forgiveness, acceptance, and pure joy……and when I’m not I get grateful and remind myself of this journey and the learning and opening up that the Grief Recovery program gave me.

  • Hounaïda is very talented and probably saved my life

    Hounaïda is very talented and probably saved my life. I was hopelessly lost dealing with a messy divorce and she helped me see that I could create whatever outcome I wanted and got me out of my depression and negative thoughts. Most impressive is my kids have tools to manage now and they're much better at expressing themselves and seem happier overall. Thanks again Hounaïda!

  • What differs from traditional therapy is the speed and effectiveness of the changes

    Before my experience with grief recovery, I was depressed, often cried, felt angry, and saw myself as a victim of certain people around me.

    Since my sessions on grief recovery, my life has changed. Here are some changes, with my state improving more and more:

    My great anger towards certain people around me has transformed into understanding.

    Detachment from the difficult event.

    Disappearance of anxious ruminations.

    I am proud to have gone through this difficult event.

    I am happy and feel capable of continuing to live my life with strength, courage, and acceptance.

    I am in contact with the people I was angry with, and I express myself with them with respect and confidence.

    I am happy to be myself.

    What differs from traditional therapy is the speed and effectiveness of the changes in my thoughts and behaviors. Moreover, these changes last over time and continue to progress.

  • I am a pet crematorium owner in Canada

    I am a pet crematorium owner in Canada who wants to have a professional to refer our clients to when it comes to grief/loss. As a business owner, I felt that in order to be confident and comfortable forwarding clients along to someone, I should experience the program myself so I know firsthand what it entails and can give a prelude to people so they comprehend the full value of the program. I had Derek Cooke as a mentor until he retired and have felt this last while that it was time to have someone that we could refer for grief/loss support. Hounaïda Bellasfar is close by and will definitely be that person for us here on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada.

    My daughter was struggling with my divorce. Hounaïda helped me understand my old way of grieving and gave me effective tools to help my daughter: how to communicate with her, what to say, and what to do. I am very grateful that this program exists and I highly recommend Hounaïda as a GRM specialist. She's the best! Helping Children With Loss

  • I am grateful to Hounaïda for the tender support

    I am grateful to Hounaïda for the tender support that she offered me through the grieving process of my beautiful dog, Canyon. I was able to move through my feelings of betrayal and guilt to feelings of serenity and lightheartedness. I am so pleased to feel the gift of Canyon’s love again. which is who he was throughout our lives together. I wanted access to him and I got it! Thank you!!!
