Class schedule & rates

Classes are ongoing. You can take as many or as few classes as you like, although I recommended that you take at least ten classes to really learn the dance. Once you are ready for the next level, private and semi private classes are available by appointment. Veils, zills and performance workshops will periodically be offered. Keep checking the web site for schedule updates.

No special attire is required, just something comfortable to move and stretch in (tee shirts, leotards, jazz pants, sweat pants). For your feet, I recommend a soft shoe such as a ballet slipper or jazz shoe. Socks or bare feet are fine. No sneakers or flip flops please. A dressing area is available.

All classes are 90 minutes. The first 30 minutes is an intense abdominal workout consisting of various exercises to strengthen and tone the abdominal region. We supply mats at the studio but you are welcome to bring your own. The next hour is belly dancing. During each class I break down and review the basic moves. I then combine what we have learned into a short dance routine. Every class you learn a new combination!
