Class Content

Beginning Level 1 Class, 6:00 – 6:45pm:
In this class you will learn the fundamentals of our belly dance steps, foot and arm placement, posture, simple zil patterns and the mechanics of each movement. Although this class is suitable for the new student, it is also beneficial for the more advanced student to review, refine and polish their technique. Billing for classes is in 6 week ‘sessions’. To cover the large amount of movements that are part of our curriculum usually takes a minimum of 4-5 sessions. We break down the every movements from the ground up and typically alternate a fast movement one week, followed by a slow movement the next week

Intermediate Level 2 Class, 7:00 -7:45pm:
Continue your exploration of belly dance with this fun, on-going class! Here we will start using all of the movements & steps you’ve learned in the level 1 classes in new formations geared towards group improvisational dancing. Emphasis for this class will be on gaining leading and following skills thru development of cues, transitions and fundamental ATS® formations
