Bellydance is an expressive art form based on folkloric and staged dances from the MENAHT region of the world (Middle East, North Africa, Hellenic, and Turkey). What we know of as Bellydance today takes on a variety of styles and goes by a variety of names, but the basis of Bellydance is rooted in body isolation and movements centered in the torso of the body. In this class we will focus on technique, alignment, and posture as we breakdown the basics forms, movements, and traveling steps that form the foundation for many different styles of bellydance. Each class will begin with a warm up that will include stretch and strengthen exercises designed with the bellydancer in mind, followed by a breakdown of several basic isolations which will be put together into a simple dance combination to have you dancing by the end of class. Class will close with short cool down stretch series. We encourage students to commit to the full 7 weeks in order to learn the most and to be able to progress.
Niad stylizations lean towards a transnational fusion approach to dance, seeking to create performance based art that honors the roots of MENAHT dance with a lens of theatrical, flow arts, and contemporary dance fusion. Our basic bellydance classes focus on strong technical foundation that the dancer can use as a basis for multiple styles in the bellydance umbrella.
