Bellydance Fundamentals: Technique (Moves and Musicality)

… is our signature course. It’s a perfect introduction to Oriental Dance, or a tune-up and refresher for those who have learnt a little already. You'll learn lots of moves - from hip drops to shimmies to circles - plus how to combine them and set them to music. Along the way you’ll also explore posture, foot and arm positions and pathways, and enjoy an intro to Arabic music and cultural aspects of the dance. By the end of the course, you’ll be ready to join the dancefloor at the next Arabic party!
The systematic course structure helps you understand and remember, plus there’s video support so you can practice in between if you choose. Improve your fitness, co-ordination, elegance, core strength and more, alongside other women who often become good friends by dancing together.

LEVEL: All Welcome. Perfect for beginners. For those with some bellydance experience, your teacher will challenge you to go deeper, to refine your movements and develop finer control and elegance.

Catch-up Options: Recordings of the lessons are available to stream at home.

Pricing: 10 classes $180 per person.

Absolute beginners are welcome. Dancers with more experience are also warmly invited to join in: you’ll consolidate, deepen and refine your skills.

Bellydance is fun, but it’s not as easy as it looks: it takes some time for movements to sink into the body. We recommend sticking to Fundamentals classes for at least your first full year - and revisiting it periodically, especially after a long break.
