Dancing
is not getting up painlessly
like a speck of
dust
blown
around in the wind
Dancing is when
you
rise above
both worlds
tearing your
heart to
pieces and
giving up your soul!
~ Jelalludin

New Class
Beginning
Soon: Young
Women's Circle (ages 14-18)
Location
TBA
This
course
is an introduction to the history, traditions and fundamental movements
of bellydance. While this class is
appropriate for beginners, it is much more than a simple technique
class: you will actually get to dance in every
class!
We will
focus on development of self-expression, improvizational skills and
cultivation of graceful stage presence. Classes will include
instruction in taksim, shimmies, musicality and performance
skills. Students
will learn to incorporate exercises that stretch and strengthen the
body, improve
alignment, endurance, flexibility and control.
Please wear clothes that allow you to move comfortably and feel
beautiful.
Private or semi-private lessons may be arranged by appointment.
