| Just like the Monday night class, but Friday mornings! Come out and have fun, exercise that doesn't feel like exercise and make new friends. A class for those just starting bellydance for the first time, those who are still mastering the moves, and dancers who want to learn specific choreographies that Belly Dance Delight performs. Taught by Nina Amaya. I am a professional dancer who has been teaching for four years, and taking classes myself for ten. My style is a joyful mix of Egyptian, Turkish, Vintage American Cabaret and individual inspiration. We will work with silk veils, which will be available to borrow or to buy. Coin belts are also availabble to borrow or to buy. Belly dance is excellent for your core muscles, for your lower back and for arms. You will not necessarily lose weight, that is up to many factors, but you will be more graceful and in better shape for taking up belly dance. Through isolations, figure eights, undulations, step combinations, turns, hip lifts and drops and shimmies we will explore a dance form that came through the Middle East and to America, the great melting pot, and continues to evolve. The choreography will be a veil dance. Learn how to enter with a veil, how to hold it for different moves, old-school wraps...the class will also include improvising to the music, finding your own dance expression. Wear comfortable, form fitting clothing. We dance barefoot, unless you need foot support. Student performances possible- you can let me know if you are interested. "Belly Dance Delight " is a troupe that dances every year at Artscape and the Chesapeake Pride festival, at nursing homes, haflas, Riverfest, etc. Beginning students can perform at the nursing homes and recitals, or not at all- most of us find it fun, but it is not required! 5 weeks for $60, or $15 to drop in. $63 to preregister with paypal and assure a spot. Limited to 10 students. | |
