Learn to belly dance! Come try this beautiful dance form, inspired by traditional dances of the Middle East and North Africa. Belly dancing is a terrific workout that promotes good posture, strengthens core muscles, and helps you develop coordination and control over your movements. Great for people of any size, shape and gender.
In this dance, different parts of the body are moved independently and layered to make a unity. Every part of your body will participate, from your toes to your fingertips, your head and also your heart, as you develop body awareness and coordination. Regardless of your age or body type, you can always learn something from this dance.
In this course, Seyyide will present the foundations of belly dance, including technique and combos suitable for beginner students.
DATES INCLUDED IN THIS SESSION: We will progress throughout the course of several weeks to learn, practice and enjoy the fundamental moves of belly dance.
