I have been a bellydancer since 2003. When I’m not dancing, I am
a full time mother to four children and happy wife to a very patient
and supportive husband.
In deciding I needed to develop an interest
that was just for me, not anything to do with home or family, I saw
an advertisement for belly dance classes and signed up for something
I thought would be frivolous and not at all ‘worthy’ or
self improving in any way.
I was wrong! There is a depth of culture, technical
expertise and musical heritage of which I am only just beginning to
scratch the surface! Best of all, I found bellydance to be great fun,
even as a raw beginner, and I found it addictive, in both the dance
and the music.
My tutor was the very experienced Georgina,
and with her generous support and encouragement I have been able to
spread my wings and learn to fly!
I also attended a variety of workshops
in order to gain a much wider base of experience and expertise and i
also started learning to play the Darabuka (an Egyptian Tabla drum).
