Sophie Mei Schools:
Become part of the world’s fastest growing dance community – Bellydance – at a Sophie Mei School.
Bellydance derives from Middle-Eastern folkloric dance and has rapidly grown from the East and is becoming increasingly popular amongst men and women in the West.
Bellydance is a fun way to keep fit, strengthen your core muscles and celebrate being a woman (of any shape, size or age).
Sophie Mei, Founder of Sophie Mei Schools, has been learning the art of Bellydance for over 8 years. She has trained extensively and quite literally ‘From Pitsmoor to the Pyramids.’
She is an established bellydance performer and has performed across the world and most famously reached the Live Semi-finals of ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent 2008 where Simon Cowell remarked that Sophie has “absolute star quality.â€
Sophie has an extensive history as a teacher and trainer as she regularly teaches English, Drama and Dance in Italy as well as working as a Peer Educator for the NHS in the UK.
She also has a Foundation Certificate in Teaching Arabic Dance (JWAAD).
Sophie Mei Schools was launched in 2010 and aims to create a nationwide school of dance in order to spread the art of Bellydance and in turn help boost women’s self-esteem, fitness levels and social activity.
