COST: £36 per course of 6 weeks.


WHAT WE WILL BE DOING: Firstly, having fun! We will be learning the basic movements of belly dance with our hips and arms and legs, exotic steps with names such as: figures of 8, hip circles, hits, camels, snake arm movements, shimmies, Egyptian walks. We will start with a warm up and finish with a cool down. We will also create a simple choreography that we will repeat and add to week on week. Please note, this is not an aerobics class! I will be teaching the ART of belly dance. My teaching style reflects this.

WHAT TO WEAR: There is no need to bare your belly, but you can if you like. Please wear something comfortable and that you can move your hips in. Jeans are not suitable as they are a bit too stiff to allow hip movement. Circle skirts are ideal but not essential. Please wear ballet type shoes, or keep bare feet. Please don't wear trainers as they restrict some of your movements. You can also wear loads of sparkling goodies like hip scarves, sparkling bras (if you're brave). I also dress up! Why not! Add a bit of sparkle...... I actively encourage my students to dress up.

HOW TO BOOK.... See 'nitty gritty' information below. I really do look forward to meeting you.

WHO CAN ATTEND?
Anyone over 18 years. Age 14 - 18 with an adult.. Do not worry about coming alone, it is a challenge to get out and meet people, but you will generally find the belly dance world warm and welcoming. I also do not non students to watch the lesson as it is off putting to my students.

FITNESS LEVEL REQUIRED
Belly dance uses muscles that are not used much in everyday life. Just come as you are and we will work at YOUR level. I have had people who attend gym on a regular basis find the movements as much as a challenge as those who are couch potatoes.
