Welcome to this belly dance site!

Here you will find information here about classes and workshops in Mid Devon (around Morchard Bishop EX17 area) run in association with Catspaw Authentic Entertainment.

As well as these dance classes Catspaw can provide belly dancers for workshops for groups (from Guides, to green groups to WI; for fun, as part of team building or teacher training). This can be a workshop, a performance, a short talk, or a combination of these. This includes restaurant dancing.

Also our dancers teach some workshops for existing dancers working on skills underlying good dance and fitness or specific styles or activities. (eg: "Super Stretches" or "Get Balanced")

Also great fun are belly dance hen nights, or girlie belly dance parties. We also have a number of belly dance soloists, duos and groups around the country, or in some areas even a snake dancer who will dance for special events and themed parties.

Some Dancers are also available for belly dance events teaching speciality workshops.

We do NOT supply dancers for male only events, rugby clubs or stag nights. None of our dancers are strippers or lap dancers.
