From the UK:

Horizon (Imajica Dance Company) was introduced to Tribal Bellydance in 2004 and immediately fell in love with power of the beat of the drum and began studying at a local Raqs Sharqi and although she enjoyed folk dance her heart was drawn to Tribal style Bellydance so began to attend ATS and attend fusion workshops and is now hooked on the beautiful art that is 'Tribal'. Horizon enjoys fusing her knowledge of Western dance with the sensual & beautiful dances of the East to dance Contemporary fusion bellydance.

Pauline Qu had her first lesson in Arabic Dance on holiday in Tunisia in 1987 and become totally hooked. Having spent the total 2 weeks taking private tuition with the hotel’s local belly dancer she returned to the UK to find that there were no teachers in her area and resorted to Videos from the US to fuel her new found passion.BTS incorporates many different styles of dance, from Khaleeji to Romani, and the aim is to continue incorporating ideas and influences to keep the style fresh, dynamic and occasionally insane! They have been delivering classes and workshops throughout the East Midlands, Lincolnshire, Yorkshire, Oxfordshire and Hertfordshire.
