Interesting information About Anita
As a life-long dancer, the Raqs sharqi style particularly appeals to me due to the natural, feminine, pelvic-centered movements, and the grace and supportive group nature of my particular style, American Tribal.
This dance is joyful, as well as a wonderful form of exercise to maintain a healthy, supple body and give emotional uplift.

Experience and style
What I love about belly dance is the fact that each performer has her/his individual style and their personality and life experiences shine through, in spite of all learning the same technique.
I love to see that a performer is having fun and really enjoying the music but I also love when a performance is serious and heartfelt.
More information
I founded Nadia School of Belly Dance in 2004, in Durbanville, Cape Town.
I moved to Cape Town from Johannesburg, where I initially performed for 2 years after learning Middle Eastern dance in Gauteng.
Once moving to Johannesburg I could finally realize my dream to share the knowledge and love for this art form.
I teach a fusion of styles that include Turkish, Egyptian, Lebanese dance, and a touch of Latin.
I make sure that my classes are fun and I believe that Middle Eastern dance enhances a person’s feeling of self-esteem and sensuality and this is what I convey to my students.
On top of that, Middle Eastern dance is a great workout and a way to keep fit.

Born in 1983, Badra Kamala always had a passion for dancing and dancing. She has done Modern dancing, Tap dancing, funk, and Hip hop as a child, not with the aim of becoming a performer or professional dancer but because she loved it.
In 2006 she discovered Belly dancing.
Being very skeptical about it she tried it and loved it. I told my friend I think she is mad, look at me I am no supermodel.
But after one class I was hooked! She was taught by the best Ashara from The oasis belly dancing studio.
She has performed in the Wits Theatre alongside Ashara and her studio.
