About Charlotte

Charlotte Desorgher is a leading figure in the United Kingdom’s vibrant belly dance scene. Widely regarded as a force to be reckoned with, she is a powerhouse performer and choreographer, well-loved instructor and large-scale event producer. She has gained international recognition not only for her timeless and elegant lyrical interpretations onstage, but also as being a driving force behind the current popularity of this beautiful art form.

Performing since childhood, she trained extensively in theatre arts as well as classical ballet, jazz, and contemporary dance, graduating with honours in dance from The London University of Education.

As an adult, living and working in the Middle East spawned a lifelong fascination with the sensuality and unique movements of Oriental Dance. And after mastering the technique in its countries of origin, she continued to study and refine her practice with Egyptian music legend Hossam Ramzy and international superstar Aziza of America.

As Creative Director of hipsinc, the largest belly dance school in the UK, which she founded in 2007, Charlotte has trained and influenced literally thousands of dancers, including many top professionals. With a unique ability to break down technique and a warm, encouraging teaching style, Charlotte has changed the lives of many women, encouraging body acceptance, building self-esteem and guiding them to explore creative expression through belly dance.
