Our Studio Environment

You'll find BellyUp is not only the most gorgeous belly dance studio of its kind, it is also a place full of women who share their love for this beautiful and elegant dance form. Even if you've never danced before, you'll find our special brand of teaching makes the learning experience fun, comprehensive and a great way to get in shape, improve self-confidence, posture, grace and stamina...hey maybe even learn to perform. Who knows?  

Are you new to bellydance? Some experience?

New students to belly dance should start at Level 1 to gain a strong foundation of skills before progressing. Those with some previous exposure to belly dance are welcome to start at Level 2 or higher but may want to take some Level 1 classes just to become familiar with our the BellyUp movement vocabulary. If you're not sure what level to start at, speak with Joharah directly. 

 All classes provide a warm-up, technique breakdown & drills for practice plus plenty of time for actual dance movement so you learn to put moves and steps together right from the start. 

What to wear?

Wear what you are most comfortable in. What you would wear to the gym is fine. Yoga pants, tights, tshirt,  and something to tie around your hips.  Bare feet or ballet slippers are preferred. No socks please.  Bring a bottle of water too. We also sell water, hip scarves and provide Yoga mats for any floor work.

Ready to take your first class?

Just arrive about 10 to 15 minutes early for your first class. You'll be required to fill out a short waiver form before taking a trial class or if you plan to register for classes, this will give you plenty of time to arrange your class card with our front desk. Of course we love you to spread the word about bellydance and our fabulous studio, so please feel free to bring a friend with you if you like. And if you're on your own, you're sure to meet some really wonderful people.
