Good Stuff

Following an extremely intensive week in Sunderland last week where I joined other belly dancers to create a FANTASTIC show by the end of the week taught by Sara Farouk Ahmed, and getting my dance dojo back, I spent a lovely evening with the women of the Northern Women's Institute in Rochdale.

Lovely company, and it went very well.

Spent a cold evening with a bunch of lovely ladies in Higher Walton last night presenting my 'Belly Dance, Styles and Costuming' talk.

What better way than showing off your dance costumes whilst entertaining people?

Yay! We have some photos. I particularly like this top one as it shows just some of the processional route and I think gets the feeling of the gala.

A photo of the whole clan.

All in all, a grand day out, to coin a phrase.

Penwortham Gala

Not long been back from the Penwortham Gala.

The weather was very kind to us again this year, although the small amount of breeze we got, whilst great for cooling us down, played havoc with our poi veils. I'm sure I spent at least half my time wrapped up like a mummy. NOT the glamorous image I was trying to portray!

I have lots of people to thank for today:

My dancers: Gail, Paula, Tracey, Sarah, Linzi,. Lorena, Julie, Janette, Carol.
My banner carriers: Paddy and Diane.
Leaflet distributer: Ryan
Driver and soundman: Paul
Photographer: Philip

Photographs hopefully to follow soon.

Had our last rehearsal tonight before the Penwortham Gala which takes place on Saturday (in Penwortham).

Should be a lot of fun, so if you fancy coming down to support us and watch all the other groups, the procession is due to start at 12.30pm.

There's loads of other stuff going on too, so a fun day can be had by all.

    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.
