Learn to belly dance!
This 4-class belly dance course is open to people with or without dance experience. All body types and ages welcome.
About this Event

REGISTRATION will CLOSE ON OCTOBER 6th, or sooner if capacity is reached earlier.

Learn to belly dance! Come try this beautiful dance form, inspired by traditional dances of the Middle East and North Africa. Belly dancing is a terrific workout that promotes good posture, strengthens core muscles, and helps you develop coordination and control over your movements. Great for people of any size, shape and gender.

In this dance, different parts of the body are moved independently and layered to make a unity. Every part of your body will participate, from your toes to your fingertips, your head and also your heart, as you develop body awareness and coordination. Regardless of your age or body type, you can always learn something from this dance.

In this course, Seyyide will present the foundations of belly dance, including technique and combos suitable for beginner students.

DATES INCLUDED IN THIS SESSION: We will progress throughout the course of several weeks to learn, practice and enjoy the fundamental moves of belly dance.

4 classes, 8:00 to 9:00 pm, on Tuesdays October 7th, 14th, 21nd and 28th.



Plan on arriving by 7:50 pm at the latest, and we will start at full throttle by 8:00. Wear any comfortable clothes that you would wear for yoga or exercising. It is also fun (but not required) to get a hip to tie at your hips. For some convenient options to get a hip scarf, check . Feel free to check our dancewear .



Must sign for the whole 4-class series on the dates specified above. No drop ins available. No refunds. (If you are unavailable on one or two of the dates: See FAQ below)



Note about parking

There are parkmeter slots in several streets around (parking must only paid until 8:00) and if you don't find a spot, there is a parking lot at the studio which costs a flat rate of $5. The studio is also very accessible by public transportation (several buses and the red line bring you nearby).
