About Dalia Ajram - "London's most popular bellydancer"
How it all began...
In 2002, Dalia and her mom began to study the art of bellydance under a local teacher named Maya. From the very first class, Dalia and her mom were hooked! Not only did she discover that belly dancing is a great workout, but it brought Dalia and her mom closer together. Soon they joined a gypsy/tribal dance troupe called "Banjara" which evolved into "Barefoot Gypsies". In 2006 Dalia started Barefoot Dance Company as a way to get other people excited and interested in bellydancing.
