I want to Belly Dance....!

Fleur Estelle, international Belly Dancer, needed a London event photographer to capture shots of her show, Tikkis Mikkis went along to the University of London Union to document the event. I was completely blown away and had to keep reminding myself that I was there to take pictures and not just to stand in complete awe of the beautiful dancers. The belly dancing classes must be amazing to produce such a well choreographed event.

The Bedlehs, or traditional suits, were all completely individual and made the acts with more dancers seem even more impressive. There were all different types of belly dancing, from Tribal Fusion to Bollywood Fusion, from beginners to advanced. The finale was a dance by the three belly dancing instructors. They had the most beautiful silver fans to make a truly dramatic end to the show. Here is a small selection of the pictures I took. The rest can be seen on the Tikkis Mikkis site here.
