I have been working full time for over 10 years  with my partner in Belly Dance. We have no other income or job, and I don't make or sell belly dance costumes other than my own. My latest project is the Tribal Belly Dance group, the Urban Gypsies which is 20 plus strong and I with my Colleagues operate a network of busy belly dance classes over the Greater Manchester area. 

At the moment I am innovating a new style of belly dance, my own Tribal Gypsy Belly Dance style,  a fast energetic style heavily influenced by my first love, which is African Dance. Using the whole body, instead of "isolation" using "whiplash" in order to get a greater degree of natural movement and utilising the tremendous potential ability of the spine and hip area to power the dance.

I hope this web site will show that there is far more to Belly Dance than meets the eye!
