The Bellyrinas are the school's troupe, a group of up to 15 experienced dancers all trained at the school, available for events, weddings and stage shows.
The troupe appear widely throughout the year at private and public events.
The Bellyrinas perform choreographed, themed 'shows' usually lasting 12-20 minutes per show, and including solos by Tina-Louise. We also have short shows lasting anything from 90 seconds upwards. Our 'specialist' shows include modern contemporary Belly Dance, Hawaiian Hula shows, and Tahitian Otea. Our shows can be put together to form a longer performance if required.
Our appearance and style is high standard, glitzy Egyptian Cabaret. Although performances are predominently genuine Egyptian Belly Dance, shows may also include elements of other dance styles, various props, circus skills and magic! We also perform Hawaiian Hula and Tahitian Otea.
The act is suitable for audiences of all ages.
All choreography is by Tina-Louise, and the troupe design and make their own beautiful costumes (and most props).
You may book up to 15 dancers subject to availability. For our standard choreographed shows, we recommend a minimum of 5 dancers, including Tina-Louise; however we can still cater for events requiring fewer dancers.
The troupe can provide a brief performance, any number of short shows, or a whole evening/day of entertainment tailored to suit your requirements.
We will usually perform our currently running shows, but can modify to suit your event.
You may wish to combine the entertainment with the theme party or demonstration sessions described in the section 'Tina-Louise'.
For details of solo performances, please see: 'Tina-Louise'.
