Sophie started belly dancing when she was 14, she had been to dance school and loved it but felt that no styles suited her until she discovered belly dancing, which she felt suited her “curves” and then she says she became a bit obsessed. She has recently completed a teacher training course and now does private belly dancing lessons as well as the occasional workshops at charity events as well as performing regularly in local restaurants. Sophie feels that belly dancing is sometimes stereotyped and seen as a form of lap dancing/stripping and she wants to prove that it is actually a classy form of dancing. Sophie is a student at Manchester University where she is studying Philosophy and Italian.
