Sayyida - Egyptian Bellydance for Happiness.

Welcome to Princess Fee Bellydance! This page is all about my Egyptian Bellydance classes and information for the Sayyida Troupe. Sayyida means happiness in Arabic and that's what we're here for, to be happy and have fun. 

The Sayyida classes run on a Wednesday night from 6.15pm - 7.15pm and you can attend either in person at the Mata Hari Dance Studio in Bibra Lake in Perth, WA, or from anywhere in the world as all Princess Fee classes are streamed on Zoom. For more info about the classes, see the Learn Bellydance page.

The Sayyida Power Ranger Costume.

This is the first costume you will need to perform with the Sayyida Troupe. 

1. Underpinnings - bike pants, leggings, harem pants or loons. In black/white or matching your skirt.

2. Black Undertop. This can be a choli-length wrap top (+/- a body stocking) or a full length top that covers the belly. Sleeves must be 3/4 or full length. Preferably a v-neck.

3. Black Diamond Over-top. Black and silver and black and gold. Available from Bellydance.com or Ebay. Prioritise the Silver.

4. Black coin belt - one with silver coins (to match silver top) and one in gold (to match gold top).

5. Full circle skirt in any colour. These should be either 1 or 1.5 circles, floor length and opaque satin. Easy to make!

6. Dance shoes in black or tan. These are optional for stage work but mandatory for community performances.

7. Jewellery - This is to be silver or gold (to match the top/belt). To taste.

8. Hair Flowers - optional in either white/black or to match your skirt.

9. Cover up - A robe or veil to cover your costume to preserve the mystique.
