BellyLessons - Level I (Beginner)
This class is geared towards beginner students who want to explore Bellydancing!
This class is perfect for the student who has never taken a bellydance class before and also for the student with 'some' experience (via classes or a DVD) who wishes to revisit the core set of basics skills.
This class will be taught in levels, so the beginner will learn and the not-so-beginner will be challenged. This course will introduce the beginner to the foundation steps, posture, and isolations. Lotus Niraja has developed an ongoing lesson plan which allows each session to have a different spin. We will focus on proper posture, muscle memory and body conditioning, techniques, and standard isolation training. Classes fill quickly, so pre-registration is recommended to avoid disappointment!
What to wear: Students should wear comfortable clothing, and are encouraged to wear hipscarves or coinbelts. No shoes are required. No flip flops, no socks (too slippery). Wear something around your hips. There will be T-shirts, hip scarves, and music for sale in class. You do not need to wait for a new session to begin taking lessons, drop in at any time!
Costs: $100 per 6 week session. Drop-in: $17 per class.
