Who Am I?

Who am I?

My name is Susan Lloyd, my performing name is “Safeena”. I live in Newport, South Wales and bellydance is the most important part of my life.

 

I have been dancing most of my life...even writing choreography at an early age. I have taught disco and contemporary and jazz ballet.. I have performed for the last four years in many establishments, which include the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Turkey and Tunisia. I have choreographed over 12 dances, ranging from Saiidi, to Turkish Village, to Spanish Fusion to Traditional Beledi. I particularly like to dance to upbeat music such as Nancy Ajram and Najwa Karam.


 

I started teaching bellydancing in 2002 and now teach up to 5 classes a week. I work with local authorities to promote health and fitness through dance, to all age ranges...from school children to senior citizens. I give regular talks and presentations to women's groups such as the Women's Institute. I organise workshops with professional dancers from all over the UK, and dance evenings within South Wales.

I have a growing database of bellydance enthusiasts within South Wales and the South West. I am a member of MADN (Mosaic Arabic Dance network) , Dance UK and Community Dance Wales. I also work with suppliers such as Wiggle-It, Forbidden Fruits, Maria D'Silva's Mystical Mirage Bazaar and Whirling Dervish and have my own supplier contacts in Turkey and Egypt . I organise bellydance holidays every summer in Turkey.

Details of my classes, events and holidays can be found on this site.
