All classes are open and ongoing and drop-ins are welcome.

Level 2 – Continuing Beginner to Advanced Beginner

At Level 2, the student continues to learn more belly dance vocabulary and works on perfecting the basic movements while learning more challenging moves and steps. Layering of movements is introduced requiring the student to perform two or more isolated movements at the same time. More fun travelling steps and turns are taught. The student will learn combinations or sequences of movements. At this stage the student should start to feel the movements are becoming second nature. Again you are learning a completely new language, and at Level 2 you are beginning to put the new words (movements) into sentences (combinations) and are starting to build the grace, fluidity, and foot work skill to move forward into Level 3.

In Level 2, the curriculm from Level 1 is repeated but students are now focusing on adding arm/hand movements, working on undulations and shimmies, some layering technique. All classes include technique breakdown, drills, and a few combinations. Veil will be introduced at this level in addition to finger cymbals. Students are encouraged to purchase their own veil and finger cymbals so they can practice at home.
