Belly dance at concert

A belly dance school has held its end-of-year concert at Everglades Country Club with Bollywood, burlesque and belly dance numbers.

The program commenced with a large and complex group dance performed by experienced students.

A Melaya Leff dance was performed in the style of the women of Alexandria in Egypt farewelling their husbands as they went to sea.

Beginner and children's classes performed various numbers with two children dancing solos.

Behind The Veil Dance School was founded by Ms Kelly Byrne who started dancing 14 years ago, inspired by the beauty of the costumes and the flowing movements of the dance.

Ms Byrne has been teaching on the Peninsula for 10 years, running adult and children's classes at Peninsula Community Centre.
