**All students should bring a hipscarf or shawl to tie around the hips and zills. I normally have zills for purchase, so check before buying. If you are currently buying zills for class on your own, look for ones with two SLOTS, not holes. These are much more stable on the fingers. Please see my Links Page for recommended makers*

 

BELLY KIDS BELLYDANCE:

This class will teach the fundamentals of traditionsal middle eastern bellydance, and is appropriate for girls age 7 and up. No previous experience in either bellydance or any other dance is necessary. Younger students (5-6) may be considered with prior dance class history.

They will learn the basic bellydance isolations and build on them with combinations and choreography. This is a fun and exciting way to incorporate movement, dance, balance, and build coordination and cooperative skills - plus make new friends!

 

BEGINNERS BELLYDANCE:

Learn the fundamentals of traditional bellydance, then build on them. Learn basic body posture, isolation movements, steps, combinations, rhythms, zills (finger cymbals) and short choreographies for fitness, dance knowledge, or just for fun.

 

FUSION BELLYDANCE:

Bellydance with ATTITUDE! Expand your knowledge of bellydance basics. Updated and contemporary, Fusion Bellydance interweave moves, postures and music from many other styles of dance and cultures from around the world. From this fusion of styles, unique and specialized forms of bellydance have been born, such as Tribal Fusion and Gothic, most originating on the west coast of the US. This is an ongoing, all levels class, but expect to be challenged - beginners get special attention though, so not to worry!
