Horus

Born in Sao Paulo, Brazil but in his early years moved to Portugal. Horus studied martial arts before being introduced to belly dance by instructor Petra Pinto. This provoked his desire to gain more knowledge of the world of dance and discover how ancient men and women danced in celebration of life.

Horus is a member of Mozarabes dance troupe and has developed a program to promote male Belly dance in Portugal. His style is a mix of Tribal Fusion and modern Bellydance and includes fire props, juggling, Isis wings and and his signature hand made face masks.

A huge thank you to all those who attended Bellyworld’s Summer School in August - we were delighted so many of you were able to attend all workshops and had the energy to dance in the hafla too! News of next year’s programme coming early 2011.

Amira

 

Music and rhythm have always been part of Amira’s life…She first found Oriental Dance in Damascus in 1996 and it soon turned into a passion. The Arabic culture as well as music and dance became an indispensable part of her life. She has, on account of her numerous visits to Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, and India, developed a profound understanding for the interpretation of this music.Amira is most appreciated for her liveliness and animation as well as for her interaction with her audience. Her deep understanding of oriental music and its rhythm, often encourage her to improvise in her own approach and style, rich in emotion and expressiveness.  Amira has wide national as well as international experience on stage and with her performances in general
