Introduction to Bellydance Class *Next course starts January 9, 2012 *
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 bell ydance 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.
Students are encouraged to register in advance to avoid disapointment but are welcome to come and try out the first class on a trial basis if the class is not full. Upon completion of the class, students must either pay for the full course or £10 for just the one trial class. Please find payment details at the bottom of this page.
Improvers Class *Next course starts January 9*
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 and 3/4 shimmies, 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 may also be bought in bundles or taken as drop-ins with instructor permission. For payment details please see below.Intermediate Class *Next course starts January 11*
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 and upper body isolations.
Become more confident and comfortable in your dancing and develop fluidity and precision of style
Advanced Class *Next course starts January 10*
Ongoing enrollment for dancers with a strong understanding of technique and layering. Usually this means at least 2 years of regular bellydance classes under your coin belt!
Working with complex movements and layers including layered shimmies, twisted tucks and stomach accents, this class uses more intricate combinations and full choreographies.
Hip work, foot work and upper body isolations are layered using different timings, developing strong, independent hip work and fantastic muscular intellegence and control!
Students work toward developing a well-rounded technique with emphasis and encouragment placed on performance, improvisation and creating strong, individual style.
