Ameerah is a professional bellydancer based in Durham.

She fell in love with belly dance shortly after moving to England in 2001.

Since then she has danced internationally for several years, from weddings to restaurants and everywhere in between!

Ameerah's travels around the world helped shape her joyful, charming dance style - based on a strong respect for traditional Middle Eastern dance, but always keeping an interest in other styles, including tribal fusion and modern dance. She is known for her friendly, warm manner, razor-sharp finger cymbals, and of course stunning sword perfomances - guaranteed to amaze the crowd!

When she is not roaming the earth searching for new costumes, Ameerah is available for performances and to teach workshops.

Jewels of the East Will Add Shimmy and Sparkle to your Event

As the nation prepares to watch the Royal Wedding many of you are planning events of your own. So if you have a wedding, hen party, birthday, surprise party or family event coming up why not book a bellydancer to bring the wow factor!

If you would like to hire us to dance below are some details to consider:

What sort of belly dancing would you like us to perform and to which styles of music?

We can dance set choreographies and improvise to a variety of Arabic, world and western music.

How long would you like us to dance for? When would you like us to dance?

We can dance as people arrive, during a meal or at any point during your event!

What sort of sound system is available?

For smaller venues a powerful stereo should be ok but please bear in mind that it will need to carry over the
volume of any background noise (e.g. people eating). Organizers will need to provide a PA for large venues.

How much space will there be to dance?

We can dance around tables, audiences, on stage or a mixture if suitable.

Will there be anywhere for us to get changed and leave our bags?

A small area to prepare is ideal

If you have any questions whatsoever please feel free to get in contact with us!
