Ongoing Classes
Beginning Bellydance
In this class the student will learn a solid foundation of basic technique, starting with a short warm up, drills, and combinations to learn musicality (where the moves fit the music). We will learn a short choreography over the course of one month as a class goal, but drop-ins are welcome and you will not be required to know/perform the
choreography.
What to wear: Form fitting exercise/yoga wear. Shoes are optional, but ballet/modern flat shoes are recommended to protect your feet and help with turns. Hipscarves are also optional but are recommended as they help to see your
body line.
