Class Content

Beginning Level Classes, Mondays 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. 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 Class, Mondays 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.

Mixed Level Classes, Thursdays 5:30 – 6:45pm:
We’ll start off in the first section of class learning the fundamentals from our beginning level classes, along with some intermediate steps and concepts. After the movement and/or concept breakdown dancers will get to work in groups with other dancers at their skill level or with the teacher. A great opportunity to not only learn the art of the dance, but, to also connect and build community with dancers from a variety of levels within our community.
