Mirjam

Meet Mirjam

Mirjam is a passionate belly dancer from Hungary with Turkish roots, with 16 years of experience in belly dance and performance. What began as a hobby and a love for movement gradually became a huge part of her life and eventually a professional career.

Over the years, Mirjam has performed across London at restaurants, weddings, henna nights, birthday celebrations and other events, bringing energy, joy and vibrant expression to every performance.

Her journey with dance has also been deeply personal. After a serious motorbike accident left her with open fractures to her legs and a broken spine, belly dance and movement became an important part of her recovery.

Through dance, she rediscovered strength, mobility and confidence, and experienced first-hand how powerful movement can be for both the body and mind.

Classes with Mirjam

Mirjam began teaching belly dance in 2025, after many years of performing and developing her own dance practice. As a teacher, she wants her classes to be welcoming, enjoyable and accessible, while helping students build confidence and a strong connection with their bodies.

She believes belly dance is much more than learning individual movements. It is a way to express yourself, discover what your body can do and enjoy moving to beautiful music. Her own recovery journey has taught her that progress looks different for everyone.

She therefore aims to create a supportive environment where students can learn at their own pace, feel comfortable in their bodies and, most importantly, enjoy dancing.

For Mirjam, belly dance represents joy, resilience, confidence and gratitude for life — and she loves sharing that feeling with her students.

Training & Professional Experience

Mirjam started belly dancing and fitness 16 years ago, initially simply as a hobby. Her passion continued to grow, leading her to train with renowned belly dancers and teachers from around the world.

Her training has taken her to Hungary, Poland, Egypt and London, giving her the opportunity to experience different approaches, styles and traditions within oriental dance.

Alongside her belly dance career, Mirjam is also a qualified fitness instructor, which has given her a strong interest in movement, body awareness, strength and physical wellbeing.
