Be a Belly-rina! Ballet for Belly Dancers
Presence. Poise. Grace.
Discover how the elegance and refinement of Ballet and theatrical training can elevate your belly dance performance skills.
New to Ballet? That is ok! In this class, we’ll explore Ballet technique through a Belly Dance lens—adapting movement quality to support and enhance our style. Together, we’ll work on fluidity, footwork, classical arms, technique for turns, and the confidence it takes to command the stage.
We’ll also explore foundational theatrical concepts and universal terminology that all performers need to know.
If you stepped away from Western dance forms in search of more freedom through Belly Dance, this is your chance to revisit Ballet and theatre on your own terms—reshaping this style to serve your artistry.
