Introduction to Bellydance Class *New course starts February 15!*

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. 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.

Students are encouraged to register in advance to avoid dissapointment but are welcome to come to the first class and pay in full on the night. These trial classes cost £9. Please find payment details at the bottom of this page.

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 travelling sequences as well as in-depth focus on complementary arm and hand placement.
