We are continuing to offer all of our belly dance classes online! You can sign up for our Monday night levels 1 and/or 2 classes or our Thursday night levels 1 and/or 2 classes. All classes will use the free zoom app that allows you to join via your computer, phone or tablet and optionally share your video and mic to get the customized class experience you want.
Online Belly Dance Classes FAQs:
How Do I Join A Class Using Zoom?
Zoom is a free app that works on phones, computers and tablets alike. When you purchase a class I will email you a link to register. You only have to register once per session. If you don’t have the app installed you will be prompted to allow it to be installed (it’s quick and doesn’t take up much space on a device). On the night of class: Go to the link about 5-10 minutes before class and type in your password, if prompted. You’ll be in a ‘waiting room’ until the instructor admits you to join our classes (this helps keep uninvited guests out). Once you are part of the class you can choose to have your camera and microphone on or off. You can pin the instructor’s box so that this is the main screen you see during class. Just click on the 3 little dots in the upper right corner of the instructor’s video and select ‘pin’.
What If I Miss A Class?
These classes will be recorded and left on our cloud for 48 hours. We will put a link in our private facebook groups for each class after the recording has been uploaded. If you want access to the recorded links be sure to visit the appropriate facebook group. Not a member of the facebook group? Just ask your teacher and she’ll give you instructions on joining the private groups.. they are also a great way to keep up with other news around classes and performances.
What Are The Perks Of Zoom Classes:
- Join classes live
- Large variety of music used during class
- Ability to be the lead dancer in level 2, 3 and 4 classes
- Interact with the instructor and classmates by simply speaking into your mic (or typing your question in the chat section if you prefer)
- Optionally allow the group to see you on screen to ask questions, show movement questions, etc

Not Sure What Class You To Sign Up For?
Both of our Monday and Thursday night online dance classes will be teaching you the movements and steps of our dance form, along with basic zil (finger cymbals). Although all level 1 & 2 classes use the same curriculum, the movements and steps taught in the Monday night class will be different than the Thursday night class that same week. So you can take both nights to get the maximum amount of dancing in (many of our students do). The extra dancing is good for the mind, body and soul!
Questions on which level is right for you? Check out this general class FAQ (the FAQ is written for live classes but does a great job describing which level is best for getting started with this dance form). Still have questions? Just email Jennifer. She in the studio most Mondays – Fridays.

General Online Dance Class Questions:
When Will Live Classes Resume?
We’ve been able to keep up our dance skills as a group quite well with our online format and that is definitely a testament to the dedication and great attitude of everyone participating. And although we love the interplay with our fellow dancers when we are live and in person we need to balance this with the safety of everyone involved. Jennifer is monitoring guidelines from the CDC and local and state officials to determine when it may be safe to resume live classes. At this time it is unclear the exact date this will occur. Once we get the go ahead and feel safe to once again offer live classes we will do them as hybrids- still online but with a small group of live in-person students joining in the class. We may have guidelines that dancers will be asked to follow in order to attend live classes. These limited live spots will be first offered to our loyal students who remained with us during the move to online classes. Any additional open spots for live classes will be offered on a first come, first served basis.
What If The Teacher Gets Sick?
As during normal live class offerings, should the instructor get sick and be unable to teach a class you will have a credit for the missed class(es) in the following session, if a substitute teacher is not available that night.
What If I’m Not Sure If I’ll Like Online Classes?
Online dance classes are new to many people so you may not know what to expect. Currently our students are thoroughly enjoying the online classes, but, if you find after taking a couple classes that you’d prefer to wait until live classes resume, we’d be happy to set you up with a credit for any remaining online classes towards live classes in the future. Just let us know asap.. any unattended classes remaining in the session will credited towards live classes.
