About me

Sophie Mei – Bellydancer, Performer, Presenter, Journalist and teacher ...

WHAT I SAY ABOUT ME:

I'm a dancing Yorkshire lass who couldn't live without writing (or dried dates). I love performing, acting, dancing, speaking and smiling!

Plus I'm a huge human rights campaigner and self-confessed geek (although I hide it beneath my layers of makeup)

WHAT THEY SAY:

Winner of Amnesty International Media Award 2011 for her exclusive article and film on human trafficking.

Twenty-three-year-old Sophie Mei, from Sheffield, shot to stardom on the popular TV show Britain’s got talent. Her determination and talent in belly dancing saw her reach the semi finals where she gained world-wide accolades, along with Simon Cowell’s declaration that Sophie has: “Absolute star quality”. Sophie recently sat on the elite judging panel of the biggest bellydancing championship in Europe, Raqs Britannia, with founder Miles Copeland (former manager of the Police and Sting) and she is set to play a pivotal role in Raqs Britannia 2010. Sophie, who is mixed race (Chinese and English) is an established teacher in the art of belly dancing and an experienced TV presenter, having presented her own documentary in Egypt for YTV. She is soon to produce a bellydancing health-fitness DVD. Sophie has trained extensively with Sheffield Theatres, Contact Manchester, as well as workshops at RADA, SKY Television and the Third Angel Theatre Company. Very recently Sophie has filmed with Channel 4’s Hollyoaks. For further details about Sophie, please visit www.sophiemei.co.uk
