Bellydance Fundamentals: Veil Routine
The veil is a beautiful, elegant and feminine bellydance prop that also gives your arms and shoulders a great workout! Learn to float, wrap, swoosh and more. As well as manipulating the veil for dynamic effects, you’ll also discover how it can frame you and be the backdrop to enhance other bellydance movements. You’ll put it all together onto a song that spans Arabic, Turkish and Persian cultures: each language has its own version!
If you’re brand new to bellydance, expect a challenge! (If you want a gentler introduction, or if you have shoulder / neck / arm issues that might affect your ability to use the veil, choose the 6.30pm Fundamentals Technique course instead.)
Choreography helps you understand the dance better by seeing how movements fit to various kinds of music, how they connect together into phrases, and how we can use space. It builds your memory and consolidates your skills. We might even have a performance opportunity down the track. Plus, improve your fitness, co-ordination, elegance, core strength and more, alongside other women who often become good friends by dancing together.
If you have a bellydance veil, bring it along. If not, we have some to lend you.
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.
Pricing: 9 classes $165 per person. Take BOTH courses (6.30 & 7.30pm) for $250 and learn twice as fast!
