LONDON BELLY DANCE FESTIVAL 12/13 April 2008 ends in great success with Michaella, Fifi Ness, Natacha Atlas, Storm, Vashti, Lillie Naor and other stars from the belly dance world.

Over 120 people attended the two days of workshops, lectures and two evening performances. Fifi Ness, the renowned baladi teacher and performer made a special visit from Israel, teaching and performing to great acclaim.

Michaella herself, in spite of the responsibilities of the Festival, performed with the band Bosforus on Saturday in a triumphant display of brilliance and originality.
