Sophie Mei To Join Bellydance SuperstarsRaqs Britannia 2009, Europe’s largest bellydance festival will see 19 year old Sophie Mei amongst the judging panel of the festival’s first ‘Junior Bellydance Competition’ which will take place on Sunday 7 June. Fans of Sophie will be able to join her as she also hosts a bellydance workshop for beginners on Saturday 6 June. Sophie was invited by Miles Copeland, former manager of The Police and Sting, to join the Bellydance Superstars in Blackpool this summer. Since beating off stiff competition from over 100,000 hopefuls, and making it throught to the live semi-finals of Britain’s Got Talent 2008 with her ‘knockout’ bellydance performance, Sophie has not looked back. Sophie won the hearts of judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan, who described her as having ‘absolute star quality.’ The popular young lady's live performance of Kiss Kiss was watched by over 10 million viewers and her performance of Temptation has had over seven million hits on YouTube. That was just the beginning of a whirlwind of live performances, music videos and TV appearances. As testament to her talent, Sophie has been asked to attend Raqs Britannia 2009 in Blackpool’s Winter Gardens Sophie commented: “It’s an absolute privilege to be judging the competition. I hope we can attract more young people into learning the art of bellydance. I’ll even be teaching some bellydance basics in my ‘Belly Babes’ workshop on the Saturday.
Sophie said “It will be a fun and light-hearted workshop, designed for young beginners who want to discover more about the art of bellydance and performance. They can learn the basics, from simple hip circles to their first shimmy. I will also be putting a strong focus on confidence-building techniques.”

It was all Arabic at The Showroom Cinema last month when Sheffield belly dancer Sophie Mei hosted a themed evening last month. Egyptian Elegance Night attracted 300 guests who enjoyed events from belly dancing, Arabic drumming and street dance, also having the chance to sample Arabic cuisine Baklava in the specially decorated venue. |

It’s great to be doing something for Comic Relief and it should be a good laugh!”
So come on down learn some belly dance tips from me, and help break this world record. Just pay a surcharge of one pound on the door to receive your red nose- and get dancing the night away! Sophie |

"L'ascolto nel dialogo Sonoro" : "Music without words" A Music Therapy Course My first worry was that of a language barrier after scraping by for a month in Italy through use of a dictionary and broken Italian grammar. So understandably I was unsure if I was ready to attend an Italian seminar. Particularly, as it was based on musical therapy a thing I knew little about and was initially unsure.
I certainly discovered something very important that not only involves music, movement and improvisation but something much more profound… Music Therapy is an interactive language without words which prides itself on a humanistic approach that involves Listening and empathizing as fundamental qualities. By this approach and the use of movement, musical instruments and dance they are able to create a secure base for the patients. |
