Welcome to Black Lotus Bellydance

 

 

Black Lotus Bellydance was formed in 2011 by Leeanne and Sally, two girls with a passion for belly dance. They perform at festivals, shows and haflas across London, Essex and Kent.

 

This website is all about us - what we have been up to, what chorographies we are working on and where you can next see us perform.  If you want, you can even book us for your event.

 

We hope that this website inspires you to take up belly dance and helps you to find a dance class near you.

 

 

 

So, what is belly dance?

Arabic dance, more commonly known as belly dance, is a beautiful and expressive form of traditional dance from the Middle East. In the Middle East this dance is a form of celebration and women often dance to entertain each other.

 

Why should I do belly dance?

Belly dance is suitable for women of all shapes and sizes.  It's a wonderful way to keep fit; it improves muscle tone, posture, flexibility and strength.  But most of all it raises self-esteem, it encourages unity with your fellow dancers, and gives a huge amount of joy to those who take part in this wonderful art form.
