About Lien
I, Lien
Siwalette am born in Holland.
My parents are from the South Moluccans.
These are a group of Islands in
Indonesia.
I was 9 years
old when I learned the Moluccan dance. In 1978 I came in contact with
the oriental dance.
Blessed with 2
fantastic teachers:
Catherine
Ruillet
Shortly
after I took belly-dance lessons from Catherine
Ruillet, who now lives in Italy. After a
while, Cathrine, Anneke Bakker, Aafke and me organised fashion shows
with clothes from the middle-east, which we showed all over the Netherlands.
Port of the
show was a performance from Catherine. Anneke and
me also danced at het fashion shows. I learned to improvise during those
performances, and the importance of communication with musicians.

Alexander
Sipahelut
In 1990
I danced with a Mollucan dance-society: Bunga Kenangan, it was lead by
Alexander Sipahelut. Alexander taught me the traditional Moluccan dance.
Also I was taught Eastern dance technique's.
With this group
I performed all over the
Netherlands. With his guidance I
learned to understand choreography. He also teached us how te get a team
to dance to perfection.
The way of
dancing of Alexander and Cathrine is the basis of my teaching today.
