Prepare to be swept away to an exotic land of rich costuming, heady scents, mindblowing rhythms, crazy choreography and a bevy of bedouin beauties.

Soma is a Cape Town based professional belly dance company providing the highest quality performances and workshops.  SOMA was established in 2006 to expand the art of fusion belly dance in South Africa. We are based in Cape Town and do travel for functions and workshops nationally and internationally.

This particular style has its routes in the ancient North African, Gypsy and Arabic belly dance forms, with strong influences from Spanish and Indian dance.  This creates a rich, deep feel to this graceful dance.
As everything is constantly evolving, this style is also influenced by various contemporary dance forms.  This brings in an expansive and modern lilt, adding a playful side to the atmosphere. Our team of dancers all have very diverse backgrounds in the performing arts, which lends a rich blend of style and innovation to the performance troupe.
