Drop In Belly Dance Classes

Want to take classes with us but can’t commit to a full session? Want to try out our classes before signing up for a session? Then our drop in belly dance classes are for you!

Classes Via Zoom:
Single drop in class purchases are good for 1 time use during the week purchased. Once you purchase a drop in class we will email you a registration link for that night’s online class. Please plan to register no later than 5pm if you plan to join us that same night.

In Person Classes:
Our in person classes are very popular recently and we have limited spaces available at this time. If you get an ‘out of stock’ notice here for your preferred class night, email or call us to see if know of an unexpected vacancy (sometimes a person who has signed up for in person classes plans to join us online instead and a studio spot opens up). If you do not get an out of stock notice here we should have space for 1-2 drop in students joining us in that night’s class and you do not need to check in with us first 🙂

 

More About Our Belly Dance Classes

What has made American Tribal Style (aka: FCBD®Style or ATS) Belly Dance such a wildly popular belly dance form? The power and presence of the moves? The lush and layered costuming? The sense of community created by a group of dancers working together in an ‘improvisational choreography’? All of the above??? Come and find out for yourself with an instructor with over 30 years training in this dance form!

Join us in celebrating the strength and beauty of women with our ongoing series of classes!

Class Content:

Level 1 Class:
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

Level 2 Class:
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

More About Our Hybrid Online/In-Person Class Format

NOTE: During COVID-19 all of our classes will be using a hybrid format with classes happening online & in person at our studio simultaneously.

Online Classes:
You can choose to join us with Zoom from the comfort of your own home, optionally share your camera and ask comments in real time. Learn more about online classes during COVID-19.

In Person Classes:
Very limited in person spaces are available during class time. We will wipe down the studio doors, hand rails and often touched surfaces as needed. During class we will run our heavy duty HEPA filter air purifier. Even with these precautions there is a risk of contracting covid. We suggest that if you are in a high risk category that you choose the online format.

At this time masks are optional.

Should the community’s health situation change we will make adjustments as needed.
