My dance is inspired by Egypt, my travels, the natural world and music.
As well as making my own dance, I'm passionate about encouraging you to try it.

As well as taking my inspiration from the roots of the dances I love, I always aim for a modern approach, to find what these ancient dances mean to a global audience today.  It's a journey that never stops for me, and one that continually inspires and helps bring vitality and enlightenment to my own life, as well as I hope to yours.

MAZAZIK DANCE 

is 2 things.....

It's a trademarked system of dance tuition designed to give you a thorough dance vocabulary, complete body involvement, energy awareness and cultural background to the dances I present

It's also a community - an opportunity for like minded people to learn together, and to socialise together

I started Mazazik Dance in 2002 in the city of Manchester, where I was living at the time, but it's grown and now attracts an international group of enthusiasts, from the UK to Ireland, Egypt to Finland, Canada to California.

Re-educate your body and mind into a state of wellbeing focussed on the principles of the dances of the East; centred, grounded, strong and supple.

At the same time follow your curiosity to find out more about cultures of the East and Africa, with occasional dance journeys into Celtic lands.

 BEGINNERS EGYPTIAN & ORIENTAL DANCE
​ON ZOOM

starts Monday 7 June
20.00 to 20.45 (London time)

Monday 7 June - THE NILE.
The waters that flow through Egypt are its lifeblood, and many of the beautifully fluid movements of this dance mimic this epic river.   
Through them, we develop fluidity and power.  Try them tonight.

Monday 14 June - LUXOR.
A city on everyone's bucket list because of its fabulous sights.  But it is also a wonderfully relaxed and happy place just to be.  And there's always a party going on. 
Let the sun shine in!  Try the dance of Luxor tonight.

Monday 21 June - CAIRO.
One of the most vibrant cities of the world and known for its bellydance clubs.  But there is another dance - Cairo baladi - the dance of the people of the city. 
Not overtly sexual but naturally sensual.  Try it tonight.

Monday 28 June - DIVINE DANCE
Egyptian dance has ancient roots, whether we look to the ritualistic dances performed in the temples, or watch the dances that have evolved ou of the folk cultures of people who worked the land. 
​In the modern dance, our posture and poise, elegantly earthy and simply beautiful, is inspired by the past.  Try it tonight.
​
Price £5 per class, or £15 for all 4 paid up front.
