LEVEL ONE ~ The place to start your love of Belly Dance

An introduction to Middle Eastern Dance

This low impact class will introduce you to the basics of Middle Eastern dance. Each class begins with gentle warm ups before moving on to correct posture and those beautiful belly dance basics. Individual attention is given and students are encouraged to work at their own level. Each class finishes off with relaxing cool downs and stretches. A video and discussion night is also included in this course.

LEVEL TWO  ~ Time to move on to something a little more of a challenge

The Goddess - The secrets to Beautiful Bellies

Focusing on simple but beautiful combinations and arm work to accompany the basic movements taught in Level One. You’ve mastered your beginner moments and now it's time to get things moving. In this class we concentrate on getting you mobile. Learn elegant travelling steps and complementing arm work. Build upon your new moves until you move with style and grace. In Level Two performance opportunities are available for those who love to grace the stage. 

LEVEL THREE ~ for students who have been learning for over a year

In Level Three we build upon your knowledge from Level Two. By this stage you will feel comfortable with basic hip and torso movements, as well as layering and variation. In Level Three a series of styles are covered, as well as using props such as veils, canes, and swords. 

BELLY BURN ~ Get some fire in your belly!

(This class is run periodically. please phone for details)

Luna will get your pulse racing with a fun, energetic, belly workout. Move and groove to some of the latest arabic pop numbers. This class is freestyle so you just follow Luna along at your own pace. Classes include warm ups, stretches, aerobic workout and concludes with some ab exercises. 

BELL-ESQUE ~ Find your inner bombshell!

This fusion style will have you sure to find your saucy side. The grace and elegance of belly dance, the cheekiness of old world burlesque-it's a winning combination! Dance to fabulous music of the era, whilst fusing belly dancing and burlesque. It's all about having fun and being just a little cheeky. 


BELLYFUSE ~ Welcome to the other side

Bellyfuse is all about exploring new ways of movement. Taking bellydance to the edge, Jewel will show you how fuse different styles of dance in all kinds of interesting ways. These classes are all about evolution and pushing the boundaries. 

 

UNDER 12’s

Belly Buddies - Our children's Belly dance classes

An introduction to Middle Eastern dance for children where fun is the emphasis. Focusing on Middle Eastern movement children are taught choreographies, how to use a variety of props and performance presentation. We believe each child should be encouraged to improve at their own pace.

UNDER 16’s

Gypsy Chicks - For the teenage girl

Belly dancing is all the Rage! Learn those fabulous moves that you see on video clips. Belly dancing is not only a folk dance, you can put your new moves to use on a dance floor. In this class we use beautiful Egyptian music (for those classical moves) alongside some of today's favourites (for belly fusion!).

The dance is a poem of which each movement is a word: - Mata Hari
