Belly Dancing

Bellydance

Bellydance is an increasingly popular form of fitness, recreation and personal expression for many women. In this class you'll learn and practice the graceful, mesmerizing movements of cabaret-style Middle Eastern bellydance. Bellydance is based on movements that are natural to the body. People of all ages, body types and levels of fitness can do it. Those who don't enjoy traditional fitness routines may find new passion for movement when it's accompanied by exotic music, colorful veils, and tinkling hip scarves. And for those who are already physically fit, bellydance can provide a new physical and mental challenge as you learn to move your body in new ways. While there are many opportunities to perform bellydance as an amateur or professional, you don't have to want to perform to benefit from this fun and healthy style of dance. It will help you tone and strengthen, release stress and tension in the body, move with more grace and fluidity, and celebrate your innate feminine power. No experience is required for our mixed-level classes, but the Bellydance Basics series is the best place to start for new beginners.

BELLYDANCE BASICS SERIES

Develop strength, grace, and fluidity while you explore this beautiful art form! Learn basic bellydance postures, movements, steps, and combinations along with a short choreography. Basic finger cymbal techniques will be introduced after the third class. You will be playing and dancing by the end of this fun and challenging 8-week session!

Learn the movements and techniques of traditional Middle Eastern bellydance. Bellydance is an increasingly popular form of fitness, body-mind practice, and personal/artistic expression for women of all ages, sizes and shapes. Celebrate your feminine beauty and power with this ancient art form.

The Basics series is designed for new beginners with little or no prior experience. It will help prepare you for drop-in classes through progressive instruction in basic Bellydance steps and technique. Beginners are also welcome in our drop-in mixed-level bellydance classes (see class schedule); however, the drop-in classes do move faster and assume some knowledge of the basics, so the best place for new beginners to start is in the Basics series.
