Beginner Bellydance

A fun and no fuss introduction/overview of fluid and percussive bellydance moves for new belly dancers.

 

Ideal for groups of friends, mother/daughter bonding, anyone looking for a no-pressure, non-competitive social activity that will get you out of the house, out of the office and out of the mundane -- moving and laughing and making new friends. And did we mention the dialogue you'll be having with your muscles?  

 

This class is also appropriate (with a doctor's release) for ladies who are on a healing journey while or after being treated for breast cancer. Positive body image execises and messages are gently infused into these classes from someone who's been there and back! Range of motion and manual lymphatic drainage techniques benefitting everyone are incorporated into warm-ups and cool-downs.

 

Each Beginner class has its own unique personality and vibe. New material is introduced each week during the 6 to 8-week session. Previous material is reviewed as time allows. As the classes progress, lessons on foundational posture will be followed with upper and lower body isolations, traveling steps and combinations.  

 

No experience needed. Students may repeat this class as many times as they like!

 

What to wear: Layered yoga clothes are great.  Socks or dance slippers/sandals (we're usually barefoot!)

 

What to bring: Water, class card or cash

 

What to leave: Your worries behind

 

What you get:  A syllabus and a new paradigm, and new cool moves and friends! 

 

When to arrive: a tad before class to change if necessary and warm up.
