Class descriptions and payment details below

 

Introduction to Bellydance Class *Morley College Course starts

September 16*

For students with no bellydance experience and those wishing to review their basic bellydance technique.

This course provides students with the basic foundation required for any future bellydance class including posture, hip circles, rib circles, figure 8's, undulations shimmies and more. Introduction to and explanation of ab and glut work starts here.

We work and progress as a group which is why it is important to take the full course and drop-in classes are not allowed.

For students with a basic knowledge of bellydance technique ie. completed the 7 week Introduction to Bellydance Course. Also for those who want to practise basic technique and combinations at a more relaxed pace than the Intermediate Course. Perfect for students who want to return to bellydance class after an extended break.

This course builds upon basic movements like shimmies, figure 8's and myas. Working with undulations, 3/4 shimmies and tilted figure 8's, we incorporate more complex sequences as well as in-depth focus on complementary arm and hand placement. Further development of ab and glut work is explored.

Students are encouraged to register for a full 7 week course but classes my also be bought in bundles or taken as drop-ins with instructor permission. For payment details please see below.

 

 

Intermediate Bellydance Class *Next course starts Septmeber 22*

Ongoing enrollment. For students with a good understanding of bellydance technique (ie. completed the Introduction to Bellydance Course and Improvers Course).

Learn more advanced movements such as travelling undulations, body waves and downward hip accents and use them in more complex combinations.

Students begin to layer footwork and travelling on top of their hip work.

Become more confident and comfortable in your dancing and develop fluidity and precision of style

Advanced Bellydance Class *Next Course starts September 21*

Next Course we are working on choreography

Ongoing enrollment by invitation only. For dancers with a strong understanding of bellydance and layering.

Working with complex movements and layers including layered shimmies, twisted tucks and stomach accents, this class uses more intricate combinations and full choreographies. Working towards developing strong, independent hip work, we begin layering hip isolations on top of footwork using different timing.

Props including zills (finger cymbols), assaya (sticks) and veils are regularly studied.

Students work toward developing a well-rounded technique with emphasis and encouragment put on performance, improvisation and creating strong, individual performance styles.
