This is a choreography class meant for children aged 4 and up. It’s a great way to spend time together and try something new. There’s no need to be a great dancer or have previous experience.
This class has an optional performance date Saturday December 17th at 7PM. I try to keep costumes as simple and affordable as possible, often dancers already have the pieces they need at home. Our last costume was just all black clothing with a hipscarf provided by me.
We are moving to 422 Concession from March 26 & we are expanding our offerings!
Lil Movers Tuesday 9:30-10AM $5 (18 months & up)
This class will be about exploring creative movement, learning dance class etiquette, creating good posture & dance habits. Caregivers should remain in the room with their children.
Tuesday 4-4:45PM Kids Bellydance $5 (4 years & up)
Bellydance is a social dance from the middle east performed at weddings & community events. It is absolutely appropriate for all kids. This class will have a short warm up, some drills, technique review, we’ll put together a combination & then it’ll be time to cool down.
Saturday 10-10:30AM Mommy & Me Bellydance $30 for 4 classes (Caregiver & child, 4 & up)
This class is for any caregiver & child. We tend to have 2 month long sessions for this class. There are optional performance opportunities for dancers in this class.
We are also adding some morning classes to our schedule after we move to Concession Street.
Tuesdays & Thursdays 10-11AM “Feel Good Bellydance” $5 drop in fee
This will be a gentle, drop in friendly introduction to bellydance.
Caregivers feel free to bring your little ones with you to this class!
