International dancer Sara Shrapnell regularly performs at parties and recitals, both as a soloist and a group dancer. Having first discovered the joy of Middle Eastern Dance attending regular classes as a student of Tina Hobin, and Afra al Kahira, she became interested in expanding her knowledge by taking workshops around the country with teachers from the UK, Egypt, America and Algeria.

She became a full time teacher at the end of 2001, teaching in Alton, Basingstoke, Tadley and Reading. Employed both as an educator and a fitness instructor, Sara holds a City & Guilds Certificate in Adult Education. She holds an Al Kahira School of Middle Eastern Dance (ASMED) Teaching Diploma and is a tutor and mentor for the school.

A founding member of the Kol Dance Company and Mersin, her dance style combines her early loves of Ballet and Disco with her enthusiasm for Middle Eastern Dance.
