Welcome

 

Under the direction of Surika. A professional dance company

and instructional studio which is located Cape Town, South Africa.

 

PIONEER IN SPIRIT OF BELLY DANCE

Surika is a true pioneer of belly dance in South Africa.

She studied with many of the first, great, modern

and traditional, Egyptian belly dance instructors

Magmoud Rheda, Nour, Bebe, Dina and more instructors

 laid the foundations for the practical study of Middle

Eastern belly dance. Soon the dance would uncoil itself

to become the strong, enthusiastic,

long-standing industry it is today.

 

                                 Performances...

Surika became a Middle Eastern dancer performing six nights

a week at Mesopotamia and Ararat Kurdish Restaurant and on

special request at Anatoli Turkish Restaurant. Several theatre

performances during the year. These ethnic familial associations

with music, culture and tradition would broaden and mentor her

understanding of the dance and its diverse heritage.

and currently studying Skin Health Care (Astheticienne)  & Make-up Artistry
