Lorna's UK Summer tour 2013 (and heads up for next autumn and spring too!!)

It has come round to that time of year again. Ramadan will be starting next week, and therefore all Bellydance in Cairo will be stopping for the month. The perfect time of year therefore for an extended trip back 'home' to UK!

Except that this trip I won't actually be 'home' very often (if you consider home as being in Edinburgh, Scotland where my family and friends are) but I will be largely based in London. This is because I will be performing and teaching workshops throughout England and Wales. Some of these are already fully booked, but there are still places on a few too.... here's my dates for your information... !

Quick summary;

Friday 12^th July – Kent show

Saturday 13^th July – Kent workshops

Saturday 13^th July – Cambridge show

Sunday 14^th July – Cambridge workshops

Saturday 20^th July – Hartlepool workshops and show
