Level 1 Beginner Basics (10 Week Course) Option for 5 week crash course
Our Beginner Bellydance Course is designed for those with absolutely no previous dance experience and/or for those with some previous beginner training. You’ll learn a wide range of the foundational Egyptian style Bellydance movements and steps as well as how to coordinate your arms and hands in a graceful, elegant way. You'll learn the basics of shimmies and undulations and how to isolate your lower and upper body. This is the best level to start at for those wanting to build a solid foundation in this dance form and for those returning to dance after a break, looking for a refresher. The classes build on the technique and skills taught week to week. You'll learn technique and basic combinations in every class. You can repeat this course as many times as needed until you have mastered a solid foundation and feel confident to move on to our more challenging levels. You'll also receive helpful weekly practice video(s) to help you practice at home
in-between classes.

NEW! Level 2 Continuing Beginner Academy Course (10 Week Course)

Joharah's new Level 2 Academy Course is the ultimate journey into Bellydance and designed for the Beginner dancer who has taken a minimum of one Beginner course or for those who may have jumped ahead to our multi-level classes and want to go back and strengthen their foundation some more. Jo will take your step vocabulary to the next exciting level, continuing to build on what you've learned so far, plus you'll be learning about the history and culture behind the art form as we go along. With our attention focused on quality of movement as well as rhythm and musicality, we'll work on refining your movements and as well as expand your travelling steps, build on your isolations and layering skills, develop beautiful arms and hands to express yourself, and help you become a more overall fluid, knowledgeable dancer, conditioned to move in the Egyptian Bellydance way. The course includes a certificate of completion and an assessment of dancer goals at the end of the session, plus weekly practice videos for at home practice.

Designed for the dancer who wants to train, be challenged and grow in the dance form. We cover Orientale/Raqs Sharqi and Baladi movement in each class. Modifications are easily given to those at various levels but this class is definitely not suited for Beginner. Musicality, rhythm/tempo and quality of movement are all a major focus in these classes. You'll learn some great combinations in every class and typically full and partial choreographies are also taught in these classes.
