In July, we will have a guest instructor for our Dancing Shoes series - Kelela from Tribal Evolution Belly Dancing Company!

No experience or partner needed. Adults & older teens welcome, any gender, any body size. This low-impact style of bellydance is perfect for beginers, and there is no jumping, floorwork, or spins. There will be instruction on posture and foundational movements in the style, perhaps with a couple of improvisational moves if there is time. Students should wear comfy workout clothes, socks, barefoot, or ballet/jazz shoes. We will have some extra hip scarves to loan out for the class.

Tribal Evolution's style of belly dance is an American invention, based on folkloric dances from around the world. Primarily of Middle Eastern influence, but also with aspects of flamenco & dances of India. It is a vocabulary of dance moves with cues, and the leader chooses each move on the spot--a structured improvisation.
