Who Are Jewel Dancers?

The Jewel Dancers came about as a result of a shared love of Egyptian belly dance or Raks Sharki to give it its proper title.  We dabble in fusion elements of this dance, including Pop and Tribal.

We are based in Northern Ireland, where we provide tuition as well as performances. It is our hope that we raise the profile of Raqs Sharki and the benefits of this wonderful dance as time progresses.

So What Are Jewel Dancers All About?

Our primary aim is that we create a supportive, confidence building environment for women to express themselves through dance. Taking time out to do something nice for yourself, like taking a dance class, is one of the best tonics ever. The movements in belly dance are sensual and all about appreciating what a truly fantastic form a women’s body is….. no matter what age, shape or size you are.

We aim to provide a fun way to improve overall fitness levels. Why sweat it out in the gym when you can burn calories whilst having fun with your friends? Belly dancing is a weight bearing exercise, which will help promote strong bones and despite the belly in the title, it is actually an all body workout.  You will find muscles you never knew existed.

The core muscles needed to support your spine benefit the most but rest assured you will get tone elsewhere like the  arms…. just wait until you find out how heavy a silk veil is when you’ve been dancing with it for a while. 

What’s more coordination and balance are improved as you learn the dance steps.

Whatever Jewel Dancers do, we want to do it with style and good grace. We strive to ensure that each and every person we teach feels like they have had a great experience with us.

It goes without saying that in turn we get a lot of enjoyment and satisfaction from introducing others to this dance form.

After all one of the most precious gifts belly dance can offer is the chance to make new friends.

Many wonderful friendships are discovered through Belly Dance…..we should know…… that’s how we found each other.
