 Welcome!!! I wanted to share everything you'll need to know for our upcoming session. To make it easy to read and for me to ensure I am thorough, I will just bullet the thoughts and tips I have for you below: Arrive on time  but don't stress or become anxious if you are a little late. Safety is priority- drive safe, don't worry about messaging to let me know you are running late. Take your time, arrive safely, and slip into our class and your practice with peaceful energy. All is fine.  7pm:  As always, we plan on entering the studio space (Studio 3 upstairs) right at 7pm (there is usually a class right before us that exits at 6:55pm). This is the reason for the extended time in our class- since there is no transition time between classes. We have a full 1.5 hour to be together.  7pm-7:05pm:  (Arriving in the space while I set up our music and get ready) Settle in the room, place your personal items along the wall as you enter, remove your shoes, and put o...

Wear leggings/belly dance pants.  Some choose skirts, bike shorts, or stretch pants. I find...
