The 4 week long introduction to belly dance sessions takes place at the Mettler Fitness Center located on Green Street in Urbana, IL. The sessions are designed for those with little or no previous exposure to Middle Eastern dance or for those who want a refresher before moving on to the on- going class. The classes build upon core movements and establish safe and proper technique as the foundation. The classes introduce rhythms, movements, veil work, history and culture. There is a course syllabus and handouts. Note taking is highly encouraged.
I use videos, lots of imagery and various other teaching tools to help illustrate the fundamental differences in the various styles and genres that fall under the rubric of Middle Eastern Dance
This class meets Sundays 2- 3 pm in the beautiful group fitness room.
