Big Surprise!!

A few weeks ago I was approached by Samantha, a diploma student working on a project. She wanted to do a film about belly dance and the misconceptions people have towards it. Since then, we have been in touch discussing what she wanted to do in this film, and last night we actually did the filming.

In what was rather blistery weather I was filmed driving into the car park and parking up. Walking to m venue, and through the door. And then the fun began.

Myself and student Emma were interviewed and afterwards I taught my beginners class as usual, just with recording going on. I wanted Samantha's film to be really visual and colourful so we used veils.

After the class, Emma and I then performed our Shamadan choreography both in class gear, and then in costume.

It was great fun and I hope that the editing goes smoothly.

And as a total surprise look what I got!!

Great times.

Class one: Improvers. Working on performance skills. Well done ladies.

Class two: the first Beginners Crash Course of the year and what a turn out! I can't remember the room looking so full. A lovely bunch of ladies. Looking forward to next week.

Onwards and upwards.

Not long been back from teaching my first Summer Workshop. We explored some of the different dances found in Egypt. I think good fun was had by all.

Looking forward to Workshop No. 2. Why not and join us for some summer fun?

I'm beginning to feel nerves but excitement at the prospect of dancing in the Penwortham Gala tomorrow afternoon. We had to miss last year because the weather was even worse than the previous year (as per photo above), so I'm desperately hoping this lovely weather we've been having holds. Costume - sorted. Hair - sorted. Music - sorted. Students - all ready. So come and join us for a fun-packed afternoon and offer your support.

Spent a lovely day up in Windermere on Saturday with Kerry and the girls. Absolutely beautiful weather for the photographs. It was great fun, dancing to Sia's "Cheap Thrills".

Spent a lovely evening with a fun bunch of women last night at the Stalmine Women's Institute. Might have been a small-ish group compared to some, but they were full of fun and lovely to talk to.

Lovely to meet you all. Thank-you xx

Spent a lovely morning with Jess and the girls celebrating her engagement. Everyone worked so hard, and the costumes looked amazing. Watching the video back this afternoon made me want to cry - you all looked so good having danced for such a short time!

I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Really hope you did too.

Congratulations again to Jess. Hope everything goes well on the big day

Had two very enjoyable classes last night.

1) The regulars started to learn a beautiful fan veil choreography which we are hoping to perform sometime in the New Year.

2) The Crash Course (now on week three) started to learn some travelling steps and did very well.

Looking forward to next week

    Hi. I'm Sarah. I have been learning belly dance for what feels a very long time, but I still love it as much now as I did then. If you, dear reader, have been thinking about giving it go and haven't yet done so, now is the time. Take the plunge and join me (and many others) in this fabulous, joyous dance.

What my students say

"I loved the workshop. It was really friendly, inclusive and fun. I thought the level was just fine and suited everyone"

"Many thanks for (another) great workshop. I like your attention to warm-up, ways to make it work for the learner, and the warm down."


I would recommend (Sarah Swirled). She is very pleasant and polite, and has a great personality that reaches out to everyone.
