Beginning Belly Dance ( "Boot Camp" ) / Level 1

In this 6-week class, beginners will learn the basic rhythms and corresponding movements of Arabic style belly dance, while those who have completed a 6-week Boot Camp class will have the opportunity to focus on improving their technique and musical understanding. This class will culminate in a short choreography for home practice. This class is suitable for both brand-new beginners and those students who have previously completed a Boot Camp class.

New boot camp class begins August 5, 2010. 5:45-6:45pm.  6-week class meets on Thursdays, and is priced at $60 for the full session, payable first session.

 

Choreography class / Level 2
For those students currently enrolled in Level Two classes, you are invited to join us on Thursday nights to learn an upbeat Stick Dance choreography, commonly known as Raqs al Assaya. Students will learn modern Cairo style Assaya as well as the contrasting traditional Saidi style. Full choreography notes will be available, with modifications for different skill levels. This class is suitable for students who have previously been enrolled in a Level 2 class, or for those who have completed the Level 1 syllabus.

Choreography class begins August 5, 2010. 7-8pm.  6-week class is $60, payable first session.

What do I wear?
Something comfortable. Most of our students wear something like yoga pants and tank tops. Please don't wear something overly baggy like a big T-shirt. We need to be able to see the line of your body. You can take class barefoot or in soft ballet or jazz slippers. Please, no street shoes on the dance floor.

I'm overweight/underweight or out of shape. Can I still take class?
Of course you can!!! Belly dance is for women of all shapes and sizes! There is no such thing as "too much belly" or "too little belly" for this class.

Can my daughter/niece take class with me?
We do not currently offer children's classes for young students, but it can be a great bonding experience for the mature teen or tween to learn belly dance with Mom.

Can I bring my husband/boyfriend?
Sorry, but no. Our students have requested that we not allow this.

If you are considering signing up for classes, but would like to see what the class is like first, please email us and we can arrange for you to observe a class.
