Class Description

Belly Dancing Fundamentals

The Beginner level group classes will focus on authentic belly dance movements.

This class emphasizes the swaying hips, undulating torso, and articulated isolations employed in a range of dynamic and emotional expressions. Characteristic movements in the dance include curving patterns, undulations, thrusts, lifts, locks, and drops, and shaking or quaking body movements.
SUGGESTED CLASS ATTIRE
WHAT TO WEAR TO CLASS

For your first few classes comfortable you can wear cool clothing that you can easily move around in. Fitness clothes or leotard and leggings. It does help to wear clothes that aren't too loose just so your teacher can see your movements.


You don't have to show your belly unless that makes you happy and you are comfortable with it.

HIP SCARF

It's also nice to bring a hip scarf or any fabric to tie around your hips to emphasize your movements, but that is not required.



DANCE CLASS FOOTWEAR 

As for footwear, typically we dance barefoot, but if you are uncomfortable dancing on bare feet, you can wear Ballet slippers, jazz shoes instead.
