Contact me for a quoteAnne began studying Egyptian style belly dance in 2011. She is both vibrant and passionate in her performances, and really knows how to make an audience smile. She dances regularly at festivals, fundraisers and private events. She enjoys teaching belly dance, and finds sharing the dance form very rewarding. Key instructors in her dance development have included Dharlene Valeda, Yasmina Ramzy, Roula Said, Joharah Kolishenko and Nada El Masriya. She finds Soheir Zaki and Fifi Abdou's movement styles inspiring.
Anne has a PhD in History, and currently lectures on African history and Egyptian dance history.
