Here’s a montage of some of our holiday season performances over the years, including my most recent performance at the Winter Shimmyland Charity Hafla 🙂 Blessings!

A Blessed Samhain and Happy Hallowe’en
Wishing you all the best this Samhain! Here are some of our dances from our performance last weekend at the East Anglian Enchanted Ball – we had such a great time! Broomsticks and belly dance, what more could a girl ask for? 🙂
Beltane Blessings!
Happy Beltane everyone! We danced in the May- tide, like we always do 🙂
And our new choreography, in full:
Gypsy Dreams at Mendlesham Street Fayre!
We’ll back for the third time now at the Mendlesham Street Fayre, celebrating May Day (1st May) with our dance troupe, Gypsy Dreams! We’ve got two performances at lunchtime, so come on over and say hello!
When we’re bad, we’re better…
Last night a few ladies from my dance company and I performed at a charity fundraiser put on by Mystic Belly Dance, entitled “Disney: A Dream is a Wish”. We’re raising money for St Elizabeth Hospice and the Cats Protection League. With our predilection for all things dark, we decided to portray our favourite Disney characters: the villains! Well done, ladies; I have the most amazing students and the most amazing people in my life.
Hallowe’en fun and frolics…
Phew – what a busy weekend we’ve had! We put on a “dark” belly dance charity fundraiser, Haflawe‘en, this Saturday, and raised over £450 for our charities! We did three performances this time, and got to see lots of other dancers from all over the region. Great music in the disco afterwards as well – there’s nothing better than just letting it all go to The Prodigy’s Firestarter! Lots of trick-or-treaters at the door on Monday as well, and a moving, deep ritual around the fire outside centering on transformation. Blessings of the season to you all!
My alter ego…
As some of you may know, I moonlight as a belly dance instructor. Last night we played with slow improvisational dancing and shadowing, and here is the result. No one knew what was coming next, just watching and following each other, working as a tribe. Such fabulous ladies!
Last night’s performances…
Here are the videos of my performances last night at the Winter Shimmyland Hafla Charity Fundraiser, raising money for St. Elizabeth Hospice. It was a great night! Shimmy on…
Colleena Shakti: The Power of Dance
One of my favourite dancers, in a lovely short film about what dance means to her personally, as an art form, lineage and more.
Gypsy Dreams at the Wild Warrior Beltane Picnic Festival
Here’s some highlights of our performance to a packed out crowd at Hadleigh Country Park this weekend – thank you all so much, you were brilliant! (Note the little man who danced the whole way through behind us – adorable!)
