Belly Dance Classes!
Want to have fun and get in better shape? Want to share the joy and exuberance of dancing with other spirited women?
Come shimmy to the exotic beat of Middle Eastern music!
Belly dance draws from the dance traditions of many eastern countries including Egypt, Turkey, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, and Lebanon (to name a few) and is an excellent way to imbue your life with spirit and sensuality. In a friendly, energetic atmosphere we’ll focus on body isolations, basic dance steps and combinations, and the use of finger cymbals. Come experience a new way to tone up, become flexible, and get your blood dancing!
