More About Our Thursday Night Level 1 & 2 Belly Dance Classes In Boulder, CO

Once you have completed a full course of Level 1 (about 4-5 sessions) you may want to take both Levels 1 and 2 together going forward with your studies. This allows you to continue to fine tune your movement technique in Level 1 while exploring the magic of group improvisational belly dance that is the foundation of Level 2. You’ll get the benefit of 2 great classes at the low price of $15!  Class session costs will vary depending on how many weeks there are in a particular session.

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

Prerequisite:

Level 1: no previous experience needed, all skill levels welcome.
Level 2: we suggest completing a minimum of one full course (about 4-5 sessions) of Level 1 before starting Level 2.

2 reviews for Thursday Night Level 1 & 2 Combo Classes

  1. Shania McCain

    These combo classes are an excellent value. It is also an awesome way to get aquainted with the next level of ATS while keeping the basics in mind as you move forward. Jennifer always keeps things interesting in class, is attentive to each person and their needs, and really breaks down the movements each class. Highly recommended!

  2. Melina Fritzler (verified owner)

    Having back to back classes in a combo is great! While I continue to hone in my level 1 study I get to expand into bigger concepts of ATS with level 2. I feel blessed to have found Jennifer and tribe nawaar! The attention to detail and technique is phenomenal! Approachable learning in a safe supportive environment. It is the dance form and group I’ve been looking for! Amazing open people and I always leave class inspired with new moves to practice and having learned something. The highlight to my week!! I highly recommend to anyone interested!
