Arabesque Nights

Such a great evening! Yesterday I went to Chiswick to check this event that happens on the first Thursday every month, The Arabesque Nights, 1970's inspired on this occasion.
Lots of people drinking, eating and enjoying the performances, in a relaxed and spontaneous atmosphere. It was fun!
About the dancers, it was a mix of students and teachers, as well as the songs, bellydance and other styles. But the best thing was the feeling that everybody had a chance to express and enjoy themselves. I recommend it! :)

A lot of things

There are a lot of dancing events coming for all Dance Lovers in England. This Thursday the Arabesque Night Show will present a 1970's BellyDance inspired show, at The Gunnesbury, in Chiswick, London. You don't need to be a dancer to attend! In September as well, the 15th, there is the Dancing to a Live Band - Performance Skills, the last live music workshop from them, in Derby. And on the same day, there is Hilde Cannoodt and Alexis Southall's workshop, in London, two workshops about Tribal Fusion and Bellydance. Alexis' workshop is for improvers, some experience required, but Hilde's workshop is open to all levels. On the 19th, Thursday, Arab Quarter Live Band Workshop will be in North London with a 3 1/2 hours live music workshop, 6pm at The Place. 

Also for ballet lovers, you have to check the Degas and the Ballet: Picturing Movement exhibition, at the Royal Academy of Arts. It looks very inspiring.This is a very popular exhibition, so 24h advanced booking is recommended. There are also a lot of events related to this exhibition, and you can check them all here. Open on the 19th October the Romeo and Juliet, at the Royal Opera House, London. This tragic tale is a must see. But if you just fancy attending a good ballet class for beginners in London, you should check these places: Central School of Ballet, close to Holborn, DanceWorks, close to Bond Street and also the Dance Attic, in Fulham. They all include drop-in, quality classes and affordable prices.

Finally, I want to share this Ballet Blog, which promotes all good ballet stuff around. You should definitely check this out =)
