Musselburgh Hafla!

A wonderful time was had by all at the annual Musselburgh Hafla. Elspeth SwishandHips did a wonderful job hosting, as always, and I was blown away by the fantastic performances I saw on the night. Congratulations to everyone involved! Tonight sees another hafla, this time organised by Natalie at La Tasca. Unfortuately I won't be able to make that one but I'm sure it will be a great success!

Here is a link to my performance from the Musselburgh hafla

Natifa al Nahr

I discovered belly dancing 6 years ago when I moved to Madrid. I remember walking out of my first class and thinking "How is it possible I have never done this before?". I instantly fell in love with it.
I was lucky enough to have as my first teacher the wonderful Qamar al Nahr (Madrid). It was for her that I later first started working as a teacher and she introduced me to the classic Egyptian style.
Since then I have continued with Egyptian but can also add American Tribal, Tribal Fusion, Classical Persian, Gypsy, Turkish, Veil , Khaleegi and Bollywood amongst others to my experience.
Along with this I have also been lucky enough to study under amazing teachers such as Randa Kamel, Farida Fashmi and Queen Harish to name but a few. Last year I was lucky enough to study both bollywood and Bharatnatyam with Dance Ihayami. I also regularly do pilates and yoga to compliment both my classes and my dancing.
I believe that dancing is one of the most wonderful things
any of us can do, no matter how we do it. That's why in my classes the important thing is to relax and have fun with this beautiful dance which really can change your life.
