COURSE DESCRIPTION:
In the fall of 2019, we concentrated our belly dance studies on Egyptian Oriental and focused on Egyptian folklore as our guide.

In this 2020 6-week Belly Dance intensive we journey through the world of belly dance from east to west. Students will learn belly dance fundamentals- technique, isolations, and movements. We will discover different styles and nuances based on the geographical area they come from and where/how they have adapted. Understanding history and culture will allow us to tap into the fusion of belly dance for exploration!

* Students must register prior to the intensive in order to attend
* Sorry- No Drop-Ins, No Class Cards
