Bellydance improves physical, emotional, and mental well-being, reduces stress, enhances mobility and muscle coordination, strengthens core muscles for improving balance and offers aerobic exercise. SHOWING YOUR BELLY IS YOUR CHOICE. Performing is a big part of the development of the performing dancer and resources for costuming, makeup, music selection, and the building of an individual’s confidence, style, and stage persona are available whether performing is a goal or not.  Many low pressure opportunities for beginning performers to gain stage experience are offered.  Workshops on specialized topics will be arranged according to interest.

The multilevel class includes instruction and practice in basic and intermediate moves according to level and ability, beginning combinations, dancing in time with the music, beginning layering, as well as developing skills in dancing with veil, zills, and cane. Lots of personal attention.
