Who are we?

Eastern Promise is a group of real women from in and around Ilfracombe who get together to dance on a regular basis. We met at various evening classes locally and eventualy formed our own troupe.  We perform Egyptian cabaret style, An American tribal fusion form of Belly dance and some gypsy dance.

Where we dance.

We dance at local events such as Fetes and festivals. During the summer months we dance in local hotels. Two or Three times a year we hold a Hafla, which is basically a party where we get together; eat, drink, dance together and for each other.

Why we dance.

All this activity has three main purposes, the first is to have fun, the second is to allow us to indulge in our love of all things shiny and glittering, it is a great excuse to dress up. And last but by no means least to collect money for local charities.
