Intro to Belly Dance

An introductory course to Middle Eastern Dance. No previous experience necessary. We will learn the basic movements of Belly Dance, including head, ribs, and hip isolations, hip thrusts, lifts, drops, and circles. We will also learn how to put basic movements, steps, and arms together to accompanying music, as well as the principles of collective improvisation. By the end of the course we will have our own Belly Dancing troupe!

Three levels of beginners' Belly Dance technique. We will build a sound Belly Dance movement vocabulary, from hip drops and chest slides to undulations and shimmies. We will also work on posture and gracefulness, and learn about rhythms and the history of Belly Dance.
