Dancers in the UK - Page 11

Isetnofret · 01-30-2007, 03:33 AM

Hi there,

I have moved to UK quite recently and I haven't yet found dance classes in my area. I have managed to find out some information about a few workshops I could be interested in, but mostly I still feel a bit lost here... If any dancers from UK happen to be reading this I would be really happy if anyone could tell me where to look for dance classes, workshops, haflas and maybe meet other dancers online or live. I live in north England but information about interesting stuff anywhere in UK would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: Oh, er... I must be blind. I was looking very carefully for a topic about UK dancers and couldn't find one so I started my own. Now I can see it and even on the first page... Stupid me!

Hi there, welcome to the UK! You can try
Wiggle - Find a Bellydance Class in the UK.
a useful site listing workshops and teachers in the UK. Where abouts are you up north? Im sure there will be a teacher based near you, good luck with the search.

Heyas,

I'm from the North! Yorkshire!

I think Wiggle is the best site for everything information wise, also there are certain events in the North, like the Jewel of Yorkshire, and a few Hafla's here and there.

Here's a thread about the Jewel of Yorkshire.

Nice to meet yas.

Thanks for everyone! Jewel of Yorkshire sounds really nice and there is a few interesting workshops. I'll have to decide if I have the courage to go there without knowing anyone. Do people in general know each other there or bring lots of friends? Will I be the only one who doesn't know anyone?

I think I'm going. I know nothing about Blackpool but I was looking at the website ( http://www.raqsbritannia.co.uk/ ) and the place where the festival is held looks like a decent place. But well, I also liked it last summer except that I didn't book a hotel room, missed the last train and stayed all night at the railway station.
