Please check out our rates & rules page to find out about requirements and class fees.

We now have the fundamentals/beginners class at two different times...6pm or 8pm!!

Bellydance Fundamentals ~ Wednesday 6pm

The only way to be a strong dancer is to build a strong foundation. This fundamentals class focuses on basic movements, finger cymbals, and dance combinations as well as the history and origins of this amazing dance. This is a great class for absolute beginners or experienced dancers wanting to revisit their fundamentals. ~ 50 minutes.

Bellydance: The Next Level ~ Wednesday 7pm

You learned the fundamentals and have a finger cymbal foundation, now it is time to move to the next level. The focus on combinations and layered movements are taught as well as complex traveling steps. We begin to learn more about the masters of bellydance and the movements that made them famous.

This class will also focus on pulling all the skills you have learned and applying them to performing. Stage utilization, performance technique, and teamwork will be covered. Performance opportunities will be available and are not a requirement to take this class. Many students prefer to study dance without performing which is fine.

Each week, we focus on strength and perfecting this dance form. ~ 50 minutes.

Bellydance Fundamentals ~ Wednesday 8pm
