Belly Dancing Workshop

Join us for an uptempo workout that incorporates a variety of belly dance styles, from traditional Middle Eastern to earthy folkloric to American fusion. Work your hips, abs, back and arms in all sorts of new ways, while also challenging your mind, muscle control, balance and flexibility. While you’ll practice authentic moves, the main focus is in the more technical nuances of belly dance.

These sessions cover fundamental movements such as hip drops, shimmies, undulations and more. After drilling technique, you’ll learn how to string these moves into short combinations and eventually translate them into a polished repertoire, paying special attention to the musicality and stage presence that is particular to belly dance.

After 8 weeks, we will host a Hafla (Arabic for party) where we'll gather to shimmy and sway what we learned in the workshop. Family & friends are welcome. Light bites will be served.
