She has performed at several weddings, including both Turkish and Arabic, restaurants, parties, festivals, concerts and several charity and corporate events. In 2005, she started organising events with Terri Hardy. Terri was the first to host Egyptian dancers and teachers in the UK, who were Aida Noor and Medhat Fahmy, former dancers of the world-famous Mahmood Reda troupe.Lisa not only studied dance but also learned classical Arabic language and holds a Birmingham Brasshouse language school certificate in it. Her language skills help her to understand and interpret the intricacies of Arabic music. She has been fortunate enough to perform with some of the great Egyptian musicians such as Ibrahim el Minyawi, Medhat Shaheen, Sheikh Taha and Joseph, who were fundamental to belly dance as we as western dancers know it today.Lisa first embarked on belly dancing whilst watching Quincy, MD, when an episode featured a belly dance class, who would have thought her dream of becoming a scientist and an unknown passion for dance would ever align and lead to a fascination with belly dancing.Lisa started dancing when she discovered dance classes run at Birmingham Hippodrome’s Dance Exchange and has been hooked ever since. Despite specialising in the Egyptian styles, she uses many influences from other dances such as Ballet, Tap, Contemporary, Jazz, Samba and Salsa to help create her own mainly improvised style.A keen event organiser herself, she was the organiser of BAMBA’s belly dance festival and co-organiser of Birmingham’s first international belly dance festival in 2015. She organises many charity events, including The Sunshine Orphanage in Luxor, Cancer Research, Kidney Research, Acorn’s Children’s Trust, Get Ahead, The Dean Field Foundation, Endometriosis UK and currently 4trauma4patients; to date has helped raise £25,000 for the various charities. She’s also just happy helping where she can enrich the lives of others.Agenda?: 01:00 PM - 02:00 PMWorkshop TasterHost: Lisa McKainInfo: 1 hour of learning basic Belly dancing steps, and later you'll have a go and join in with the performance if you like!?: 02:00 PM - 04:00 PM3 Course MealInfo: Enjoy your 3-course meal including: Starter, Mains, mint tea and Baklava. ?: 04:00 PM - 04:30 PMTime to shine!Info: Show off your new moved that you learnt at the workshop and have some fun!?: 04:30 PM - 06:00 PMBelly Dance PerformanceHost: Lisa McKain + Belly Dancer FriendsInfo: Sit back and relax, enjoy the professionals perform - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/birmingham/belly-dance-social/100001990790807897 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Entertainment, Workshops, dance, Festivals, Music, Nonprofit, Concerts, performances - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 5 hours - Location: Syriana Restaurant - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 16.96, max: 45, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Birmingham - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Syriana Restaurant - **lat**: 52.4866842 - **long**: -1.9014535 - **full address**: Syriana Restaurant, 1 Constitution Hill, Birmingham, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Belly Dance Social - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/dc2a82896d372ad0675316e52fbe4792bfa689bcc48b9139c9e186d97e08ac21-rimg-w828-h997-dc92a7fd-gmir.jpg?v=1781074287 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Belly Dance Social being held? - **A:** Belly Dance Social takes place on Sun, 26 Jul, 2026 at 01:00 pm to Sun, 26 Jul, 2026 at 06:00 pm at Syriana Restaurant, 1 Constitution Hill, Birmingham, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Belly Dance Social? - **A:** Belly Dance Social is organized by Lisa McKain & JJ Lee. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
