A must have!!! Sports massage for Belly Dancers

I don't know about you but lead legs, aching calves, twingey backs and most importantly, stiff shoulders can all have a negative effect on your performance.  However, these problems can be can all be greatly improved and often completely irradiated by a skilled sports massage.  This type of treatment is not a relaxing send you to sleep experience.  No, it is exhilarating and you will be amazed at how much it can enhance your dance and posture as well as preventing potential future injuries.

I've had 3 nagging problems caused through injuries over the years.  I've seen numerous massage therapists, sports therapists and tried other alternative remedies including acupuncture. Nothing properly worked. So, I grew to live with these limitations and pain/discomfort until recently.  I found Leslie a qualified sports massage therapist and natural healer.
I have always been very supple but a pulled hamstring left me unable to do the splits with my right (leading leg) forward.  After two treatments, I have regained most of my flexibility and can now do splits again!

He has also treated me for tension and stress headaches making pain killers unnecessary.  I felt like I was walking on air after his foot massage and I was noticeably lighter on my feet when bellydancing and salsa dancing.
A very stressful 2010 and weight training left me with very tense shoulders.  Deep tissue massage has loosened them up enormously.

Leslie is based in Central London (Kings Cross) but can also do home visits


The planet Egypt  showcase is a fun night with Middle Eastern club music after the show and in the break offering everyone - novices and veterans a chance to dance.  The show content is always varied and the atmosphere is electric!!!
