While living in Seoul, South Korea for 2 years, I performed twice in Egyptian restaurants. Read the news story which was in South Korea's main English written newspaper, the 'Korean Herald', all about their performances.
I have fond memories about this event, as it was my first performance as a beginner after 6 months of practising belly dance, having first learned in South Korea. My teacher at the time was Jeanan, an Iraqi-American friend who taught English in Seoul and to whom I taught Italian in exchange for belly dance lessons.
Since 2003, when I first started practising belly dance in South Korea, my passion for this art form has kept on growing. If you want to learn belly dance these days in South Korea, you can ask in the Arabic restaurants in Itaewon, the most cosmopolitan area in Seoul. Also, you can check the classes pages in this website, which include classes in South Korea.
