MEET TRACEY & VIRGINIA
About Tracey
My journey into belly dance began in the 90's, studying with teachers both here in the UK and Paris. Visiting Cairo for the first time in 97, I completed the journey of falling in love with this rich dance and music and the beginning of my professional performing days. The dream was then to bring a flavour of the Egyptian nightclubs to Manchester, and after scouting the clubs in London with long-time friend and drummer Medhat Shahin, the first Taste of Cairo party happened in 1999 attended by over 300 people. Fast forward to teaching across the UK and Europe and working at festivals in Egypt and setting up the first UK Bellydance agency Taste of Cairo I have a wealth of learning to share back with regular classes in Manchester back on the agenda let me share a little of the love of this magical dance form with you.
