An Aldeburgh Musicircus – in video

Here are a few videos about the event that we (Gypsy Dreams Belly Dance)  took part in for An Aldeburgh Musicircus, alongside a thousand other performers for a two hour, free musical extravaganza.

An Aldeburgh Musicircus!

We did it – we made it possible, with over 1,000 performers sharing their creativity all at the same time, for two hours along Aldeburgh seafront and High Street, in pubs, in gardens, from balconies and rooftops at An Aldeburgh Musicircus as part of the 67th Aldeburgh Festival. Well done everyone! It was AMAZING!!!

Here is a short video and some photographs of our dance troupe, Gypsy Dreams Belly Dance, performing at the event.  What a wild ride, the awen flowing with the crazy serpent energies of midsummer!

There is a 5 star review in the Financial Times HERE.

Another 5 star review in The Times – though they called us flamenco dancers!

Flashmob for East Anglian Belly Dance Superstars

Here is some video of yesterday’s flashmob by my dance company, Gypsy Dreams Belly Dance, for our big charity show, East Anglian Belly Dance Superstars.

Welcome summer!

My dance troupe this Saturday… we begin with our new “Priestess Dance”, where we open with a prayer to the Goddess, to those that share in the joy of dance, and to the elements of earth, air, fire and water, and then to the womb, that which connects us all in love and compassion…
