Bellydance Basics - Rhythms and veil introduction

A vital part of any dance is learning the rhythms. In addition to learning how to isolate your upper body from your lower body and vice versa, you'll acquire a sense of various middle eastern rhythms and the moves paired with them. This is a mixed-level class; beginners will gain flexibility and movement; intermediate students will refine their technique, strengthen movements and begin to stylize using arms, layering, and level changes... A portion of this class is also dedicated to learning how to dance with a veil using single veil technique. Come to make friends, have fun, and more importantly get a good, cardio workout!

This class runs in 6 week sessions.

Intermediate bellydance – Choreography and performance emphasis
- Ongoing -

Building on the foundational movements and skill set introduced in my Beginning class, this 1 hour class incorporates walks, turns, rhythm and tempo changes as you put it all together for upcoming performances. Have you ever wanted to learn how to do floorwork? This is the class that will challenge and push you in that direction! Stylization, improvisation, and longer choreographies are emphasized. Participating in this class automatically grants you the opportunity to perform at my hafla which is held every other month, as well as other bellydance events throughout the year. Bellydance for expression, exploration, fitness, and fun!

This is an ongoing class.
