Here's a taste of our Mahraganat medley performance from this years' Newcastle Bellydance Festival back in March.

We had so much fun working on this. The girls trained hard, in a style completely new to them. So proud of you all. 💜

I choreographed this right after my first trip to Egypt so it will always hold special, slightly chaotic memories 😁

A big thank you to the festival organisers, all the teachers, dancers, and supporters for making events like this happen.
