About
Meet James Bulla
Bolton’s most theatrical belly dancer — a showman who has spent over a decade turning ordinary events into stories people retell for years.
James Bulla is a professional belly dancer based in Bolton, performing across Greater Manchester since 2012.
What began as a bold dare at a friend’s party became a calling. Captivated by the theatre, the costumes and the sheer joy belly dance brings to a room, James set out to master a craft few men in the UK take on — and to make it unmistakably his own.
More than a decade and 500+ events later, he has become the name hosts trust when they want the entertainment everyone remembers. His style blends theatrical, Egyptian-inspired choreography with handcrafted jewelled costumes and a genuine gift for connecting with a crowd — whether that is a grand Asian wedding, a surprise 50th or a corporate gala.
James performs throughout Bolton and the wider North West — from Manchester and Salford to Bury, Wigan and Chorley — and travels across the UK for the right occasion. Wherever he is booked, the goal is the same: a performance your guests will not stop talking about.
