Dar Tangerina Academy of
Middle Eastern Dance & Music
THE ELEGANT ART OF BELLYDANCE
Founded in 2005, Dar Tangerina Academy is run by
Now based in the Dar Tangerina Academy in Bristol- the UK's 1st dedicated and permanent Middle Eastern Dance & Music Academy- we offer regular workshops (in Bristol and across the UK) and weekly
classes (in Bristol and Taunton) including various styles of Middle Eastern, Maghrebi and Arabic dance, from Bellydance to folklore, as well as
flexibility and fitness, prop balancing and floor work.
Shema takes the safety of all students very seriously, so will
spend time on correct posture and on building up the muscles to create
strong and safe movements.
The basis of Dar Tangerina's tuition
is in Egyptian Bellydance which is now considered the 'home' of modern Bellydance. This is an elegant and beautiful style which dancers can
adapt to suit their own abilities and personality.
Self-confidence is
one of the most important elements of this dance and can take time to develop so performing is not obligatory but there will be opportunities
to perform for any students who wish to progress to public shows.
We aim
to encourage students to appreciate the subtleties of Middle Eastern music and
how to express those through the dance with joy and elegance- this is
achieved through Shema sharing her own experience, expertise and love of this
exhilarating dance.

The beauty of Bellydance is that
it is suitable for everyone, regardless of age, shape,
size, fitness level and even injuries can be worked around. It is a great way
to get/keep fit, meet new friends, catch up with old friends, discover your body and most of all, have fun!
