Instructor: Freya
Classes held in the Media Room, lower level of Womanspace
Beginner–Intermediate. No previous dance experience required. Great for all fitness levels — even those with physical limitations. (Contact Freya prior to class to discuss specific situation.)
These short summer belly dance classes are perfect for beginners. Each session we will work on 2-3 combos that will introduce you to new moves and new props such as veil, finger cymbals & sword. These classes do not build upon each other so if you miss a class or a whole session, you won't fall behind. And, at the end of the summer, you can take your favorite combos and combine them to create your very own choreography.
Suggested equipment: yoga mat, close-fitting attire that allows full range of motion (for you and the instructor to see your body positions), a scarf or shawl to tie around your hips (to see your hip movements in the mirror). Hip scarves available for purchase on Amazon and other online vendors.
Register by 5/09 or 2 days before a single session.
Sign-up for the entire course or a single class.
