Catherine Bartholomew

Catherine Bartholomew is based in Rochester, Kent where she has been teaching since 2004. She teaches workshops around the UK and has been a tutor for the JWAAD Bellydance Teacher Training courses; developing dancers’ knowledge of the history, culture and music of bellydance as well as how to teach it safely.

Catherine was a soloist with Josephine Wise’s dance company Johara since it’s formation in 2007 and had fun cultivating her evil side playing the part of the jealous Queen Narcissa in their show “The Mirror”.

She has a background in Theatre Studies and loves to use her performance skills in creating energetic and entertaining dances. She has a passion for Egyptian style dance as well as theatrical fusion. She is deeply motivated to help women of all ages and sizes to enjoy moving through dance and understands the impact that staying active can have on both physical and mental health.

Catherine has been organising bellydance events in Medway for around 20 years. Hosting workshops with guest teachers, putting on teacher networking days and her Sevenveils showcase every year. More recently she has joined forces with Charlotte Burton to bring the Bellydance Buffet regular events to the local bellydance community.
