With a background in salsa dancing, and a love for music from around the world, Michelle is interested in incorporating various styles of movement and music into her dancing.

 

Catherine

 

brings energy and humour to both the Mersin group and her dance performance through her free-flowing, engaging style. Having started dancing in July 2000, Catherine joined Mersin 4 years ago and has enjoyed performing with them ever since. Catherine loves to dance with props including double veils, Isis wings and Turkish spoons! She enjoys studying many different styles of dance and she is currently trying to decide whether to study Turkish or Modern Egyptian after her recent trips to Turkey and Egypt!

 

 

Claire

 

has always enjoyed performing and has tried many different styles of dance and drama before finding middle eastern dance six years ago.  She started dancing instead of going to the gym to keep fit and has been able to developed her love for performing as a group and as a solo dancer.  Claire hope to continue dancing for a long time as it's good for both physical and spiritual well being.

 

Sara Shrapnell

 

Has been studying Middle Eastern Dance for more than 14 years.  Known for her emotional response to the music and her upbeat, lively interactions, she loves to dance with Mersin.  Sara also teaches and performs regularly as a soloist and acts as a mentor to other dance teachers through ASMED.
