Bellydance holiday in Turkey

Steph wants to hear from anyone interested in joining a small group of belly dance enthusiasts on a dance/adventure holiday to the beautiful Bodrum peninsula in Turkey.




"The holiday will take place for a week from the 1st of October 2006, and I'm currently inviting dancers of any level to join me. This is a unique adventure holiday in rural Turkey - experience the real Turkey in dance, music, food and scenery.

"I'm hosting this holiday with Bulent Dogan, a renowned musician and dance tour operator - also a wonderful cook!

"You can find out more and see more photos of Bulent’s place at www.turkishbellydance.net."

The holiday includes:

Dance and Music Classes - with Steph and Bulent, chiftetelli, finger cymbals, Turkish belly dance and folk dancing. Also drumming workshops with Bulent and daily morning Pilates classes with Steph.

Beach Trips and Boat Trips - at least two long days on quiet, sandy beaches, and a further day sun bathing and swimming from a boat, all food/bar-be-que provided. The scenery here is STUNNING, the coves and bays you will be taken to are well away from the tourist hordes.

Cooking Classes - Watch, learn and make! Bulent’s mother kindly takes us shopping at the local market then transforms the produce into traditional Turkish cuisine.

Party with Villages - At least once during your stay there will be a village party, great fun with live music, food and dancing.

The cost of the holiday is £315 pounds per person sharing a double room. There will be a maximum 8 people per holiday.

The price includes all airport transfers and travel in Turkey; all accommodation (shared); all meals (there may be a day shopping in Bodrum where you will need to buy your own refreshments).

Flights from Cardiff need to be booked as soon as possible and cost approx £200 return in addition to the holiday price.

Steph urges anyone interested to get in touch with her as soon as possible - call her on 029 2023 1450 or email sgawnehamza @ yahoo.co.uk
