Saturdays / 10:00 - 11:15 AM

Cheryl has danced in the community for decades and is bringing her love of dance to the studio to share traditional Middle Eastern belly dance movements and musicality with more contemporary dance forms. This class provides a foundation in basic fusion belly dance movement and a variety of musical inspirations from around the world. We will focus on technique, posture, and muscle isolation with lots of drills. This will help in creating new paths of movement for your body.

This 8-week session will focus on improvisation. We will break down basic belly dance isolations and steps, and then put them together so that you have a framework that allows you to break loose and feel the music. We’ll practice dancing for our own enjoyment, and connecting to our classmates with dance improvisation games at the end of each class. Expect this session to be playful and fun!

No previous dance experience is required, all bodies are welcome and celebrated, movements may be modified. Wear what you're comfortable in - a scarf tied around the hips will help you see your movement. We typically dance barefoot, but clean dance shoes are optional. Bring an open mind, and an adventurous spirit! Looking forward to dancing with you!

PRICING: $15 single class drop-in / $105 (full 8 week session) next session will run from 11/9 - 12/28
