Belly dance is an invigorating and graceful dance form which involves isolations of the core muscles, hips, and shoulders. Each class begins with a warm up and runs the basics with added options to layer more advanced techniques. Included are travel steps and mini combos. All levels welcome! Enjoy the music and camaraderie in a supportive learning environment. Wear comfortable fitness attire. Dance barefoot or wear dance slippers. Hip scarves are fun to wear, if you have one.
