Dancebase asked me to provide them with a 100-150 word autobiography for their website (the beginners bellydance class I'm teaching at Dancebase begins on 1st October). After a few hours of sweating (in front of the computer!) I managed to come up with a leviathan of 85 words. Well, 86 if you count the blog address. Thought I'd share it here... all that work deserves a wider audience.
Elspeth SwishandHips has been teaching modern Egyptian Bellydance since 2006 and is a regular performer on the Scottish Bellydance scene. Her enthusiasm is for the expressive, less-is-more, contemporary Cairo style of Middle Eastern dance, using controlled, precise technique, passion, and a bit of humour. She also loves modern sha’abi, Egyptian pop music, and Saiidi style dance. Elspeth is an encouraging and enthusiastic teacher. In recent years Elspeth has taken workshops with Khaled Mahmoud, Aziza, and Yasmina of Cairo, and studies regularly with Lorna of Cairo.
If you fancy dancing with me at the Thomas Morton Halls, the term of classes is bookable through Dancebase. It'd be great to see you!
