3/10 Nina Amaya has added a new event.

Mondays; 615-715pm with 15 minute 'extra' lesson
Studio NinaAmaya
Basic Belly Dance workout with choreography embedded. Posture, steps, isolations, shimmies and turns!
My classes are fun and for mixed levels of ability. I'm great with beginners, because the dance didn't come easily to me, and I know how hard it can seem at first. I'm a working professional dancer, and can help an intermediate dancer work to bring her dance to the next level.
This class is an ongoing drill of the basics, with a choreography embedded, great for beginners, for experienced dancers who want to drill, who are just starting with me, or who want to pick up a choreography.
For 15 minutes after the regular one hour class, we'll work on a special topic, floorwork. There is no extra charge if you want to stay till 7:30.
There are plenty of veils and hip scarves here to borrow or purchase, or bring your own.
Wear comfortable clothing, yoga pants are perfect. I do want to be able to see your posture.
$15 to drop in, $48 for 4 weeks.
Paypal is at the bottom of this page, or bring a check or cash the first day of class.
