My fascination with Egypt led me to learn Raqs Sharqi about 14 years ago. Since then, I have studied with top teachers, performers, and musicians both in the UK and in Egypt. I have also performed at many events including the 'Rhythms of the World' festivals in Hitchin, at the Lord Mayor's Celebrations outside City Hall Norwich, and at St Albans Festival with Sara Kahan and Guy Schalom's Baladi Blues Ensemble.

As a dancer, I am fluid and elegant with fiery, intricate hip movements. I have a strong technique and understanding of how the movements are created from within, which I aim to pass onto my students. I really enjoy helping students develop their own style and self-expression, and love seeing dancers blossom as they lose any shyness and revel in the joy of the moment.

Apart from my regular classes I am available to give workshops or demonstrations at local community events, at schools, for professional network groups and corporate events. I also perform at hen-nights and at mixed private celebrations including weddings and corporate events.

I am a member of 'Tabeeya'- a group of experienced teachers and performers who enjoy sharing this exciting and dynamic dance form at both our own shows and at local festivals and events.

Read my 'Comet Country' interview from The Comet newspaper for more on what makes me tick: "It's good to wobble"
