Nefertiri Arabic Dance Company

is run by Jane Brooker

Jane has been dancing and loving it since she was

5years old. Initially learning ballet, she explored dance

and choreography in various styles before specialising

in arabic in 2004. From 2005-2007 she studied with

Katie Holland, completing intensives in Technique and

understanding Rhythm before Katie left for India. She

has also studied with Catherine Bartholomew, Gwen

Booth, Yvette Cowles, Harriet Gervasio, Niina Martin,

Storm and Ashrah Hassan and done workshops at

Bodies & Beats and Elemental

In 2007 Jane, with some dancing friends, formed Nefertiri Arabic Dancers, a small troupe which began performing in charity events and festivals in the Worthing area and soon grew in popularity.

Later that year, she started her fun and fitness bellydance classes, which has since developed into a full programme of classes and workshops for beginners and improvers, also children's and teenager's classes. The latter have formed into Neferteens, a teenage troupe. All dancers who attend Jane's classes can now join Nefertiri Arabic Dancers and perform at charity events and festivals.

Jane also performs at private events, eg weddings, hen parties etc Most recently, Jane and some of the dancers have formed a small troupe available for private hire, called Nefertiri Gems..."

Jane along with Karen Simporis started Nefertiri Nights a monthly Hafla, which is a great chance to put into practice all those dance moves and socialise with firends.
