And now, for something completely different...

Our summer guests will recognize Emilie, who comes on Tuesdays and offers wonderfully relaxing massages. She's very popular, and with good reason.

She's also many faceted.  For many years, Emilie has taught and enjoyed the art of bellydancing.

It's not all about Arabian Nights, skimpy costumes and too much eye makeup -- this is a great physical workout for all ages, with a lot of whimsy and humour to go along with veils and fans.

She is currently working up a gentle and entertaining dance program that she will be offering to provide to various institutions in the area, such as Seniors' residences.

She'll also be very happy to offer it to any groups that are at Bondi, as well.  It's about an hour or so in length, colourful, amusing, and just good fun to watch. 

She dropped by on Tuesday to take advantage of the big open space in our Rec Hall upstairs above the guest laundry as a rehearsal stage.  It took very little persuasion to get all of us up there to be her 'sample audience.'

We thought she was just great, and would have no hesitation in recommending this. Some of the routines are highly amusing, some are just plain mesmerizing.

In addition to massage and belly dancing, Emilie also reads Tarot cards -- an activity she has provided to some of our guests who are looking for something a little different when they are here with a group.

We'll happily connect you to her, if you're coming to Bondi and would like to add massage or an easy dance show to your list of activities!
