MY NEWS - 9 may 2008

am very excited about my first trip to egypt this year. a long journey out to the far oasis of siwa then back to marsa matrouh on the coast and eventually back in cairo all in the delightful company of sara farouk and emad the oud player who will be teaching us egyptian dance and musicality.

the week includes lessons with a bedouin dance company i siwa and the marsa matrouh hagalla company, the opportunity to bathe in cleopatra's bath and visit the temples of revelation and amoun and lunch in alexandria and then there is shopping...................

i now have tickets available to sell for the strictly bellydance show by the tarab dance company for friday 30 may at the grand theatre, lancaster. Cost £8 (we are also performing on saturday 31 may in leeds). so if you would like a ticket email or ring me 07843 079574. the show includes group dances, solos, trios and duets and introduces oriental, baladi, folk, sword, isis wings, veil, assaya (stick). and a special guest star. don't miss it!

my cairo holiday with the fabulous kay taylor of farida adventures only has 2 places left email me if you want to go. it's a really good price so don't miss out. check out my 'holidays' page on this site for further details of this and my djerba divas oct 2009 holiday with desert journey.

Having studies and performed tap and jazz dance since the age of 12 I have a passion for all dance genres and continue to dip my toe into other styles from time to time although my main interest is Middle Eastern dance and in particular Egyptian dance

dancing with the audience

I qualified as a dance teacher with the Josephine Wise Academy of Arabic Dance (JWAAD) in 1999 and have been teaching throughout the UK and beyond ever since. My ongoing love affair with dance has recently inspired me to take classes in burlesque dance. I also practice Pilates whenever I can.

For those who loved the old pink ak.com site, sorry it had to go but I hope you like this new clean look with just a hint of pink and more fabulous photos.
