STROUD and District Conservative Woman's Luncheon Club: The History and Culture of Belly Dancing by dance teacher Ann Blagdon

STROUD and District Conservative Woman's Luncheon Club started 2017 with a lovely colourful talk on The History and Culture of Belly Dancing by dance teacher Ann Blagdon.

Ann gave a most interesting talk, explaining the arm and hand movements and their meaning.

She also spoke of the subtle difference of the dancing between the Arabic countries.

Ann finished by giving a beautiful display of Egyptian dancing, her costumes in gold lamé were exquisite and with much adornments.

The Chairman, Wendy Cannon thanked Ann, and everyone agreed how enjoyable it was, and a lovely way to start the year.

Anyone interested in joining this very friendly club, meeting on the second Thursday of each month, should give Wendy Cannon a ring on 01453 886644
