This program is currently unavailable. Click here to view all of our current programs.
This class provides a basic dance vocabulary of movements common to several styles (Egyptian, American Cabaret, and Tribal Fusion) of belly dance. The session will introduce basic hip work, upper body lifts and circles, traveling steps and arm patterns designed for a new dancer, but offer enough variation to keep a more experienced dancer’s skills sharp. Please wear comfortable clothing, which will allow you to stretch and move, and bare feet or soft-soled slippers or shoes.
Try something new or continue to learn, it will be an AWESOME evening – please join us!
