Class Descriptions:
Beginning Belly Dance Technique & Drills:This class is for beginners and continuing students that wish to review and drill basic technique. Students of this class should understand that in order to progress to more advanced classes it isnecessary to practice regularly. Taking notes is also very helpful in retaining information that is discussed and practiced in class. HOWEVER...the purpose of our program is for women to have FUNand enjoy time for themselves away from their everyday stresses! Therefore... if all a student has time for is to come to their class once a week... THAT'S OK... There is no quiz at the end of the session and no one is ever put on the spot. Previous dance experience is no required.This class is month-to-month. Students should plan to attend 4-6 months of classes before moving on to the choreography class.
Continuing Belly Dance/ Choreography:Students wishing to join this class should already have a basic knowledge of the terminology and technique that is covered in the Tech & Drill class. Students that have had belly dance classes w/ other intstructors/studios are advised to join a Tech & Drill class first and then discuss advancement with the instructor. Students enrolled in this class are eligible for CLASS HOPPING privledges (see below). CHOREOGRAPHY: It sometimes takes several months to learn and practice a choreography. New students may be entering this class at a time when the group is in the middle of a choreography. Typically the first 1/2 hr of class is dedicated to advanced drilling and the remainder of class is choreography review and adding new sections.
Advanced / Fusion Choreography: This class covers advanced technique, combinations, layering and belly dance "fusion" choreography. Students are expected to take notes and practice the choreography and class materials regularly outside of class.Students in this class have the option of taking part in the yearly "
Student Performance
" program. Students in this class also have CLASS HOPPING privledged.Entrance into this class is with instructor approval only. There is currently a waiting list. Entrance into this class is open only to students that have completed 6 months of classes in our program.
Belly Dance / Burlesque Fusion Choreography:
Note: this class does not involve stripping and is not "pole-dancing"
We take the lost art of vintage 30's and 40's vaudeville and burlesque and give it a belly dance twist! Bring a notebook and water. This is a one day workshop where we will attempt to get through the entire choreography. Bottled water and a light snack will be provided during a short break. Participants should bring a water bottle and a notebook. Beginners are welcome but participants should understand that this is a choreography class and not a "technique" class. A basic knowledge of belly dance technique will be helpful but not a requirement to participate.
CLASS HOPPING:Students that are eligible to "class-hop" pay the fees for their "regular" class but may attend ANY lower level classthroughout the week,at any location. This feature allows continuning students the ability to come to several classes during the week without having to pay additional class fees.Students may not use "class-hopping" for Workshops or Special Events held at the studio.
