I offer mixed level belly dance classes at the Mettler Fitness Center located on Green Street in Urbana, IL. The classes are on- going and based on the principle of building upon core movements to expand one’s dance foundation, movement vocabulary and expression. The classes covers rhythms, movements, finger cymbals, 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 3- 4 pm in the beautiful group fitness room.
