Mondays 630pm	Nina Amaya 410-377-6828 ninadances@gmail.com	0 See Description	Belly Dance Delight - Beginning Class Starting August 30th! 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, or who are just starting with me. 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. $48 for 4 weeks.
