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 - BEGINNER II This class is
for students with at least 5 months of Belly
Dance class experience, either at the NiaMoves
Studio or elsewhere. In class we will continue
to drill the foundation movements of the
dance, and build upon them with arms, traveling,
layering and shimmies. Zills (finger cymbals)
will be incorporated into the dance – students
should bring zills to every class. They
can be purchased online here: Saroyan
Zills . Each session we will create
a fun new combination or short choreography
to dance!

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@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.
Here is our fabulous new music - Amar Andalus. |
