ABOUT BELLYDANCING

Bellydancing . . . Middle Eastern dance . . . Arabic Dance . . . Whatever you choose to call it, royalties have been bedazzled by it, poets have been inspired by it and many an artist has celebrated its enigmatic beauty. This captivating art form invites women of all ages and sizes on a journey of discovery to find their inner beauty and unique sensuality. But where did it originate from? One school of thought believes that this Middle Eastern dance form was initially part of ancient fertility ceremonies - performed by women, for women.

ABOUT CHARLOTTE

South African belly dancers and belly dancing enthusiasts will need to go far to find a performer and teacher as skilled and experienced as Charlotte. In fact, you’ll need to go all the way to Egypt. Charlotte is one of a small handful South Africans with Egyptian accreditation as a teacher of the art form. Not to mention the international accolades she’s picked up during her almost twenty years of belly dancing experience. But for Charlotte, Bellydancing isn’t just a dream. It’s her passion. She doesn’t just teach it – she embodies it.

COMMENTS FROM SOME OF OUR STUDENTS

"Charlotte, watching you dance at the Hafla was a real treat.  I have never watched you perform, other than in class – which is generally at our pace. 

I have always been fascinated by the art of Belly dancing, and have seen performances in shows and restaurants, both locally and in London. 

I must say that your performance is by far the best I have seen.  Your entire being responds to the music in a way I have never seen before.  It’s as if you are dancing with your soul, which is totally captivating for the audience. 

Needless to say, I was totally mesmerized by your performance.  You are a true inspiration for your students." .... G
