You will learn how to hoop on your waist, hips, chest and several off-body moves that rock.

Develop strength, grace, and fluidity while you explore this beautiful art form! Learn basic bellydance postures, movements, steps, and combinations along with a short choreography. Basic finger cymbal techniques will be introduced after the third class. You will be playing and dancing by the end of this fun and challenging 8-week session!

Learn the movements and techniques of traditional Middle Eastern bellydance. Bellydance is an increasingly popular form of fitness, body-mind practice, and personal/artistic expression for women of all ages, sizes and shapes. Celebrate your feminine beauty and power with this ancient art form.

The Basics series is designed for new beginners with little or no prior experience. It will help prepare you for drop-in classes through progressive instruction in basic Bellydance steps and technique. Beginners are also welcome in our drop-in mixed-level bellydance classes (see class schedule); however, the drop-in classes do move faster and assume some knowledge of the basics, so the best place for new beginners to start is in the Basics series.

A short choreography will also be taught so we can put our new skills into practice! (Students will need to purchase a set of finger cymbals - the instructor will help with information on where to buy).
 
The Odyssey series will focus on a specific bellydance topic or technique each 8-week session and may build upon the concepts taught in other series classes. Sample topics include: finger cymbal fundamentals, classic routines, drum solo dancing, veilplay, Egyptian Saidi (folkloric bellydance), and floorwork and balancing. Concepts, techniques, exercises, and a choreography will be taught during each session.

Note: This series is NOT designed for beginners; prior bellydance experience is highly recommended.
