Melisa Yavas: Bellydancer

What Makes Me a SecretGuru?

For anyone who has met me will know I am passionate about life and my job as a dancer. From a young age I have seen what a powerful combination music and dance is, providing us with one of the most amazing ways to express ourselves. Dance empowers us to let go, to ride with our feelings and emotions and create whatever movements our minds and bodies desire.

I draw from my Turkish heritage and blend both contemporary and traditional Egyptian and Turkish styles of Oriental dance to create my own unique interpretations. My beautiful dances are packed full of emotion and drama aided by my use of the cane, Isis wings, shamadan (candelabra), sword, veil and silk fans.

My bookings cover special occasions such as weddings, hen nights and birthday parties and I have performed for supermodel Naomi Campbell and entertainer Julian Clary. I have also appeared in a French documentary about night life in London, and been interviewed by Hurriyet, Turkey’s biggest selling daily newspaper and Fox TV Turkey.

I am also passionate about teaching and have hosted belly dance classes at David Lloyd gyms as well as demonstrated Oriental dance to children as part of their lessons into Egyptian culture.
