Bellydance is a language that reunites the body, soul and mind. To dance is to let the body express itself rhythmically. The exotic rhythms helps calm the mind while the soul unites with the body leaving all inhibitions behind, as a result leaving you confident and clear of any inhibitions. Bellydance is one of the most ancient forms of Art, and it brings us into synchrony with life and nature.
Melanie has trained in Egyptian, Persian and Tribal bellydance styles. She has been teaching bellydance and performing in Kinsale since 2008. She has performed in various bellydance shows, art openings and events in Ireland and the UK. Melanie has also co-founded 'Shaktimaya Bellydance', which is an eclectic innovative bellydance company that focuses on by fusing bellydance with circus skills.
