Meet the Team
Meet the team behind Delesham Studio and discover the people, skills and creative work that make our studio what it is.

Fanny Delesham
FOUNDER & DIRECTOR
Fanny Delesham is the founder of Delesham Studio and a full-time fusion bellydance artist, teacher and choreographer. She began studying Oriental dance in 2004 and discovered Tribal Fusion Bellydance in 2017.
Fanny is fascinated by the cultural and historical roots of dance. Her studies in Oriental dance theory, Persian language and culture, and her love of Arabic and Persian music all inform her work.
On her classes, students get to explore the rich vocabulary of Fusion Bellydance, build confidence in their own dancing and enjoy the excitement of learning, growing and discovering what they are capable of.

Christina Sol
DANCE TEACHER
Christina Sol discovered Oriental dance in 2017 and quickly fell in love with its expressive possibilities. With a background in strength training and weightlifting, she is fascinated by body control, isolations and the combination of strength and precision in dance.
Christina has performed with a bellydance group in Germany and created her own solo choreographies. She also enjoys teaching and sharing her enthusiasm for dance with others. Always curious to learn and develop as a dancer herself, she loves being part of a dance community where everyone can keep growing.

Lina Sutema
DANCE TEACHER
Lina Sutema is a dance artist with Lithuanian roots. Her background in salsa, strength training and languages has shaped her approach to movement. She is particularly interested in body control and the mind-body connection.
With experience as a translator and educator, Lina sees dance as a form of communication beyond words. Inspired by nature, different cultures and dramatic themes, she brings these influences into her dance as well.
As a teacher, Lina encourages students to appreciate the details, embrace the learning process, and find confidence in their own expression.
