Level 1 bellydance: Monday, Tuesday ... at Virginia Beach Rec Centers

This ancient art builds strength, stamina and self esteem. Students will learn the basics of belly dance. Each class will work on building coordination, grace, strength, and flexibility. This liberating dance form is a celebration of women through movement and an ancient life-embracing art! Learn and practice basic technique including proper stance and posture, arm carriage and patterns, fundamental shimmies, isolations, introductory undulations and traveling steps.
Each class ends with a short choreography to incorporate the new movements.

Hipnotic World Dance Studio
Begin exploring Middle Eastern music, rhythms and structure. This class will expand upon movements and theories taught in Level 1. Students will study layering, mastering shimmies and how to put combinations together in a classical Egyptian style. We will also focus on finding and getting the most out of your music. Choreography and improvisational skills are just a few of the other topics to be covered. Performance opportunities will also be offered.
