Female

I have always loved dancing and studied various styles from an early age, such as; Ballet, Hip Hop, Salsa and Flamenco. I finally settled on Middle Eastern Dance in 2000. My favourite styles are Egyptian Baladi, Modern Egyptian and dancing with the veil. I am currently focusing on Classical Egyptian and dancing with live bands. I am currently under the tutelage from the Drumzy School of Egyptian Dance to further my dance knowledge and skills. I try to visit Cairo yearly to receive tuition from master teachers, choreographers and performers. In April I attended the Nile Group Festival, it was so amazing I am planning on returning next year.


I enjoy organising, producing and promoting haflah's and professional dance shows. In 2006 I organised a few "Bellydance Parties" for students. The BD party allowed students to perform new or favourite choreographies, wear their costumes and dance the night
away in a relaxed, warm and friendly environment.
In March 2007 I organised "Oshaak El Neel" show which was held at the Reading Town Hall. I wanted to showcase professional dancers and teachers to the students. Kathryn wanted to open up the bellydance community to other dance forms, such as Flamenco and Bollywood.
