Experience & style

I began belly dancing five years ago and have attended workshops by belly dance teachers from all over the world including Jacqui Jamal, Randa, Hossam and Serena Ramzy, Storm, Wendy Marlatt, Charlotte Desorgher, and Kay Taylor.

I am attending an advanced belly dance course in Chelmsford, taught by Teresa Lewis, to expand my knowledge of Raqs Sharqi.

I love to find a piece of music that moves me and create a fusion of moves that interpret the music and are me!

Phoenix Bellydance was launched in May 2007 and I taught my first Beginners Course in Sept 2007.

I teach basic Egyptian.

Interesting information: I fell in love with belly dancing at the age of 6 when I had my first taste!

I am deeply moved by the music and have so much passion for this ancient art form.

I teach oriental dance daily, I give workshops locally, and I perform regularly.

I have a massive passion for dance and, although I teach, there is still so much for me to learn.
