Get ready to move your hips in this lively dance experience. Belly dancing is a fantastic way to build body confidence and is fun for people of all ages, shapes and sizes. Not only is it a great way to get fit, but belly dancing can also improve circulation and posture and strengthen the core.
This experience will happen at your home and will be friendly, informal and mosts of all, lots of fun! Your host, Wafaa, loves sharing her passion for belly dancing and will explain some the history of this ancient form of dance, which dates back 2000 years. In the Arabic countries, it's called 'raks charqui' which translates to 'oriental dance'.
Wafaa will expertly share the moves and show you the graceful techniques of belly dancing, then you'll follow along and practice to the upbeat music. Before you know it you'll be hooked by the magic of this dance and will be ready to give two or three exciting routines a whirl!
Your experience will finish with a solo performance from Wafaa while you sit back and relax with a well-deserved drink.

Wafaa Powell
Wafaa is the youngest of 7 children and was born in Lebanon, where she lived until she married her English husband in the 1990s. Wafaa's inspiration for cookery comes from her mum, who found the best way to show her love was through food. The recipes have been passed down through generations and so are the ones Wafaa grew up eating and learning how to prepare. Wafaa believes eating should be a pleasure as much as a necessity and that the relationship between people and food defines the culture of a place.
Belly dancing is also a big part of Wafaa's life. She grew up with it, dancing at home, with friends, at weddings and at parties, and while studying at university she attended belly dance courses in Lebanon to improve her skills. People are at the heart of everything that Wafaa does and she is passionate about sharing her love of belly dancing and Lebanese cuisine.
