Middle Eastern dance, is a Beautiful way for All Woman, to Explore their Creativity, find a way of Self Expression, and rediscover their Feminine power. It is a dance for everyone, from all walks of life, irrespective of Age, Shape, Size, Culture, Social backround and Religion. Akasha Middle Eastern Dance provides a Safe, Nurturing and Fun, learning environment for students - Dance is not a competition, but a Celebration. As a Professional performer, teacher and choreographer, I would like to see Middle Eastern Dance elevated to the same status as other performing arts in South Africa - Acknowledged, Supported and Respected. Middle Eastern dance is not just a style of dance, it has a history and cultural richness securely rooted within the ancient worlds. Every woman should experience the empowerment and enchantment of this dance - Every woman should discover the Feminine beauty within themselves - This is YOUR invitation to the dance.

Address: 9 Mulder Avenue, Edenglen
Cost: R250 per person

Adding a sword to your belly dance performance adds a different dimension. There's a soupcon of danger (how sharp is it?) the thrill of suspense (will she drop it?). The audience will "ooh" and "aah" as you balance the sword effortlessly on your head, your arms or even your hip, admire the graceful shapes you can make with it.

In this workshop, you will learn how to balance a sword on the various parts of your body while you dance with elegance, grace and poise.
