Intro to Belly Dance: This one is for the first-timer. A single one-hour class that teaches basic dance posture and the anatomy of common movements. This class is taught the first and third Wednesday of each month by appointment only.

Beginning Belly Dance: This is an excellent fitness class that focuses on proper body alignment and technique. A basic repertoire of belly dance moves will be covered as well as methods for combining movements to create your own choreographies.

Intermediate Belly Dance: This is a slightly more advanced class than Beginning Belly Dance that introduces more intricate moves and combinations and veil work. The art of layering moves and developing your own dance style is also explored.

Advanced Belly Dance: Admittance is by permission of the instructor. This is an ongoing class introducing zill work and choreography.

Conditioning & Choreography: Half strength & conditioning and half belly aerobics, this fitness-oriented belly dance class is designed to target the muscle groups commonly used in the dance. This class is open to all but more appropriate for intermediate level dancers.

Beginning Tribal: This class focuses on the group improvisation format. Dancers learn the language of tribal-style belly dance and the vocabulary of movements. As that vocabulary develops, the dancers learn how to communicate with one another through a series of cues.

Intermediate Tribal: This class uses both improvisation and choreography and blends traditional belly dance with classical tribal movements learned in the Beginning Tribal classes.
