In this introductory class, you learn the core foundations of Belly Dance, including shimmies, undulations, hip circles, posture, turns, and more! We connect these movements into creative combinations so you are dancing joyously in your very first class! You learn to access and isolate muscles around the hips and torso to create soft, fluid movements and dramatic, sharp accents. This class is perfect for newcomers to the Art of Belly Dance and students looking to refresh and strengthen their core Belly Dance technique.
