Evening Bellydance Classes with Katarina and Juliana #newwestminsterbc

Winter 2026 Bellydance Choreography Program (Jan–Jun) — Progressive Training + Optional Summer Performances
Beginner-friendly • All levels welcome • Fun, upbeat combos

Join a warm, body-positive weekly bellydance class in the heart of New Westminster!
Bellydance is a great dance form to learn to express yourself, feel your body and learn how to connect to the music and improvise.
All levels are welcome!

What we’ll do in class:
This is a structured, progressive bellydance program—designed for consistent growth, skill-building, and choreography development (not an ongoing “drop-in whenever” workshop format).

Drop-In Dates (Trial Weeks Only)

Drop-in sessions are available only for the first four classes:

• January 19, 2026

• January 26, 2026

• February 2, 2026

• February 9, 2026

These dates are ideal if you want to meet the instructor, try the format, and decide whether you’d like to commit to the program.

Starting February: Term Registration Required

Beginning February 16, 2026, classes will run only when at least 5 students are pre-registered for the term.

• Term registration = your spot is secured

• Drop-ins become add-ons only (space permitting, max 10 students per class)

• This structure allows the group to progress reliably and ensures the class can continue running sustainably.

⸻

Program Format: Progressive Training + Choreography Builds

We will train gradually and build choreography over time. Material is taught in sequence—week to week—so students can develop technique, confidence, and performance readiness.

• Winter choreography #1 completed by end of March 2026

• Spring Choreography #2 completed by end of May 2026

Important Notes About Joining Mid-Program

We warmly welcome motivated dancers who join later, however:

• If you join mid-term, you will need to follow the current level and tempo of the group.

• We will not re-teach the basics or re-cover previously taught choreography for drop-ins or late joins.

• This keeps the experience fair and focused for students who are committed to the full progression.

Thank you for understanding and supporting a consistent, high-quality learning environment.
