Egyptian Dance Norwich, a local Contemporary Dance club in Norwich, is excited to promote an upcoming event that is sure to captivate all interested dancers out there. Specialising in the art of Egyptian dance, commonly known as belly dancing, Egyptian Dance Norwich offers a unique and mesmerising experience that celebrates the beauty of movement.
Now, before we go any further, let's address a common misconception. While the term “belly dance” may bring to mind movements focused solely on the abdomen, Egyptian dance is so much more than that. It incorporates fluid movements of the entire body, with a particular emphasis on those tantalising hip movements that will leave you in awe.
To shed some light on the origins of this captivating dance style, let's delve into its rich history. Egyptian dance, also referred to as 'Raqs Sharqi' or 'Raqs Baladi' in Arabic, seamlessly combines grace, elegance, and power. Deeply rooted in the cultural fabric of the Middle East, it is a dance form that has been passed down through generations, from mother to daughter. What was once a form of social dancing known as 'baladi' has evolved into a highly technical art form performed by skilled professionals.
At Egyptian Dance Norwich, the classes are led by the incredibly talented Kay, who brings her years of experience and expertise to the dance floor. With her guidance, participants not only learn the intricacies of the Egyptian dance style but also have the opportunity to connect with others, form lasting friendships, enhance body awareness, boost self-confidence, and find relaxation through movement.
Now, you're probably wondering where and when you can join in on this extraordinary dance journey. Fear not!

You can find us at The Norman Centre on Tuesdays from 7pm to 8pm, The Garage on Wednesdays from 12pm to 1pm, and Rackheath Pavilion on Thursdays from 7.15pm to 8.15pm.
