A new feature of the Zehara School is the introduction of various specialty
belly dance workshops. We intend holding these regularly and focusing on the
development of our own style of dance. In addition Zehara runs workshops
organised by other people either on their own or as part of a larger event. So watch this space for quality workshops
on belly dance! Partytheme@Zehara.freeserve.co.uk
