This website is actually a magical, wild, fantasy garden full of possibilities, love, laughter, fairytales that come true and essential living. My name is Pippa Pinuppins, which is too hard to pronounce for many people let alone to remember. But whatever I do, make, write or dance, it is all done or made By Pippa. I am the head character in my own book, but Pippa is also my artistic name. I am a combination of a pirate princess, Mary Poppins, a 50s pinup with a big wink and Pippi Longstocking. I am expressive, true to my own natural and passionate self, I am colourful, playful and always looking for magic and adventurous living. Be aware that I can and I will be very contagious, as soon as you enter my pages, with my wild, free and magical living and work.

Dance!

I have been dancing since I can walk. I started with classical ballet, went into modern and jazz

dance, then started my masters in non-Western dance and Dance therapy in Rotterdam Dance academy and kept on doing masterclasses and exchange programs allover the world, wich led me to become specialised in African dance, Oriental dance, and Burlesque. Dancing from the hips and the belly brings me happiness and aliveness. I won a national contest in cross over dance (fusion belly dance and African dance) and worked and danced with many international teachers all over the world, like Orit Maftsir, Shahrazad, Rachid Alexander, Asi Haskal, and many many more. I also worked in the ghettos of South-Africa and learned so many new dances, while I was teaching them belly dance. Beautiful work and beautiful projects. In my work I always combine Oriental or African techniques with free dancing and improvisation. I focus on the qualities: beauty, power, joy and love, in our movements, in our bodies and in our facial expressions and feelings while dancing. I also teach dance improvisation and dance in combination with meditation. I also give dance therapy sessions, accompanied by my own designed dancing oracle cards. Right now I give lessons, workshops and performances in Bellydance: <<< click here, Burlesque, <<< click here and African dance, <<< click here.

 The White Tipi women gatherings!

The White Tipi women gatherings are initiated by Alejandra Acosta and Pippa. In these gatherings we come together as women in a ritual and sacred way and focus on the qualities: light, being fully women, wisdom, flowering, essential and conscious living. A tradition that comes from the background of Alejandra who comes originally from Uruguy, South-America. The idea was born and developed when I was in Lesbos doing women groups and she was doing a retreat in a white tipi. We organise days which are full of dance and movement, creativity, ritual, meditation, sharings and body work. The themes of the days can change from resilience, to essence, flowering / blossoming and living our true wisdom in daily life. There is a beautiful energy hidden in gatherings of women who want to share their life experience and move on into the state of true wisdom, whatever they experienced or went through in life. A playful yet deep gathering for women of all ages, forms and backgrounds. To have a sense of the energy we create together, <<< click here.
