Belly Dancing

 

 

 

A dance form thousands of years old with roots in spiritual dances. The movements are natural to the body and are predominantly low-impact.
 

 

Laura's Beginning and Intermediate Cabaret Belly Dance Classes: In these classes you will be learning Egyptian Cabaret bellydancing.  We will go over the basic Egyptian Cabaret moves, put the moves together, and then learn a short choreography (which you can feel free to perform on your own at anytime.)  We will do improv and I will teach performance techniques.  I will also be teaching how to dance with props:  veil, zills, cane, etc. I have been dancing for 10 years and teaching for 5. I have taught at three belly dance studios and have danced with local bands and performed in and around the tri-state area. My goal is to teach you authentic Egyptian Cabaret and for you to perform in front of a live audience (if that is your wish) but the main thing is that I want you to have fun and get a little exercise.  My classes are very supportive, laid back and nonjudgmental.  We all bring something special to this dance to share.

Beginner’s Tribal Belly Dance with Gwen and Vanessa: In this course, you’ll learn the fundamentals of tribal belly dance. Tribal fusion combines traditional belly dance with other disciplines of dance and movement art forms in specific combinations that can be cued by one dancer and followed by the rest. This leads to a unique form of improvised choreography that feels good and looks even better! This class is open to all beginning students who want to learn some fun moves and get some exercise in an open, supportive environment.
