BELLY DANCE - BEGINNER I: Learn the expressive art of Belly Dance while getting a great low impact workout! The Beginner I class breaks down the foundation isolations of Middle Eastern Dance. Each class begins with drilling isolations to locate, strengthen, and tone the muscles. You will then add together the isolations to create and practice beautiful dance movements. Each class ends with a fun and sassy combination using the movements learned that day so you always go home dancing! Each class focuses on a different movement – so feel free to drop in at anytime.

BELLY DANCE - INTERMEDIATE (by instructor invitation only): Intermediate classes include more challenging muscle and isolation strengthening, layering of hips, chest and arm movements, and more complex traveling patterns, spins and turns to explore. Some sessions will be prop-focused: veil, zills, skirt, cane, or sword. Students will begin to learn about Egyptian folkloric dance and culture as well as explore the musicality of traditional Middle Eastern dance music. Students will also be challenged to begin to create their own dance in an improvisational format. A new intermediate-level choreography will be taught in most 8-week series. Intermediate belly dance builds upon the material and combinations taught in the Beginner classes and is offered by instructor invitation. If you have at least 1 year of Belly Dance experience and feel that you are at an intermediate level, please contact Sahira at sahira[at]sahira.cc to inquire. Clients who register without approval and do not meet the requirements will be asked to take the beginning belly dance series.
