Belly/Egyptian dancing


Recommended Posts

Looking for a Beginners Belly Dancing class in the Nether Edge (Abbeydale Road) and Sharrow (London Road) areas.

 

Failing that, a class right in the centre of town ie not more than 10 minutes walking distance from The Moor or the High Street so I can catch bus home. :D

 

Looking for an evening class around 7pm or a weekend class.

 

Thanks.

Closest thing I can suggest for you Moodibloos is the Boomshanka Tribal classes at Meersbrook on Wednesday or Thursday evenings. Drop them an email on boomshakatribal@yahoo.co.uk to find out which classes have spaces and where to find them. They are a brilliant bunch.

I don't know of any classes in the City centre and most of the other classes I am aware of are in the north of the city (Burngreave, Walkley, Crookesmoor, Hillsboro', Grenoside, Wisewood etc) although I think Lianne may teach one near Norfolk Park - you could try emailing her on liannehankin@hotmail.co.uk to get more details.

Otherwise, my Thursday classes are right by the Hillsbro' tram stop (at St Johns Memorial Hall, Forbes Road/Walkely lane, behind the Rawson Spring pub, Thursday 7.15pm), so easy to get to from town.... (my contact for more details is aunty_cis@yahoo.co.uk)

 

hope you find something/somewhere suitable

Depends on what you mean by 'authentic' outfit - Cleopatras at Meadowhall often have some pretty tops and belts but they are usually Indian made.

I got my costumes in Cairo and Istanbul - thats definitely authentic, but also expensive :-). I also make my own costumes.

 

The internet may be your best bet - lots of stuff on Ebay, or try http://www.theshimmyshop.co.uk (she made the costumes for Sophie Mae on 'Britains Got Talent'). Or go to http://www.wiggle.org.uk for links to lots of costumiers as well as loads of info on bellydance.

Thanks Cis - I'd forgotten I'd posted!

She's only 9 so there's not much available in her size. I eventually found something in a shop in Handsworth that I can adapt (hopefully).

 

She'll be in town doing "Chance to Dance" on Saturday. Anyone else?

If you are interested in a beginners course email siasanodance@aol.com or telephone 07772163157 for further information or to register your place.

 

Regular classes held on Tuesday evenings 6:45 at the Grenoside Community Centre or Wednesday evenings at 7pm at the Wisewood School & Sports Association. Traditionally Egyptian Style but influenced by various other dance styles with lots of fun thrown in.
