Class Description and General Information

Introduction to American Belly Dance/Beginner Belly Dance

This class will focus on introducing the new student to the basic isolations/building blocks of Belly Dance. Students will learn to prepare for dance with simple effective stretching, and be introduced to isolation movements necessary to build a belly dance move vocabulary.  The class is ongoing and when the student becomes proficient at the basic isolations, they can then move into a Technique class. Students with some experience can benefit by reviewing and perfecting their isolation techniques.

Technique I and Technique II

Technique I class will include review of basic isolation technique, refinement of basic isolations, posture and dance etiquette, and level I isolations and combinations.

Technique II class will focus on refinement of basic and level two isolations, technique, primary isolation layering, movement and combinations.

Prerequisite:  Beginner Belly Dance or prior belly dance training.

Technique III and Technique IV

Technique III continues basic layering and Level III combinations and movements. Additional focus on choreography and group performances is introduced. Dancers will begin work with veil, cane and tambourine and zills.

Technique IV continues with isolations/layering/combinations and solo and group choreography.  Level II emplasis on dancing with veil, cane, sword, tambourine and zills.

Prerequisite:  Technique level III  or prior belly dance training.
