8 week series Thursdays @ 7pm May 16 - July 18: (SKIPPING: June 13 & July 4) May 16 May 23 May 30 June 6 June 20 June 27 July 11 June 18 1 hr classes No Pre Reqs required or experience needed All ages 8 week beginner belly dance series. Slowed down version for those needing more foundational experience. What to wear: Wear whatever you are comfortable in. No shoes. Suggested but not required: something either tight or shows your mid drift so you can see your movement. Hip skirts are also always fun! What to expect: Week 1: Main Moves - Heavily used isolations & shapes: figure 8’s, ribcage circles, body waves & hip circles while focusing on correct posturing. Think slow & circular isolation movements. Week 2: Snappy Moves - Sharper isolations: locks, drops & lifts with chest, hips, shoulders, etc. & shimmies. Think in terms of fast, snappy & linear isolation movements. Week 3: Traveling Moves - Turns, spins, traveling steps, some hand & arm movements. We will start learning ways to connect isolations together into a flow. Week 4: Layering Moves - Stepping up the difficulty by adding layers to the basic isolations & traveling moves previously covered. Think of stacking an isolation move with a traveling step, or two isolations together (ex: hip shimmy with a ribcage circle). Week 5: Continued Layering Moves - The possibilities are endless when you start stacking isolations together. This class will work on honing that skill more & learning more of these movements. Week 6: Polishing, Posture, Improvisation - Crisping up our learned moves through posture, framing & some time spent on getting more comfortable with improvisation. Week 7: Intro to Choreography - We will start to learn a choreography around 1 minute in length, using moves learned in the prior weeks. Week 8: Completion of Choreography - This class we will finish up learning the choreography from the previous class & drill it! Feel free to dress up if you like! (Dressing up is always a blast!) There will be no make up classes for any missed classes. You will benefit the most if you can make it to all classes. Please sign up under drop-in tab if doing a drop-in.
