Kids Bellydance Class 

Leave a comment

Not just for mommies & daughter’s but any care-giver & child.

Learn Bellydance while having fun together Saturday mornings 10-10:30AM.

We recommend this class for kids 3-10 but if your child is a little younger or a little older & would enjoy the experience you’re welcome to come along. 1 drop in class is $10 (including taxes). 4 classes are $30 (including taxes).

We start with a short warm-up then move on to exercises & games to develop skill, posture, range of motion, flexibility or technique. Each class we also explore a bit of choreography.

If you have an older child, we recommend regular Bellydance classes. We offer 50% regular prices for full-time students buying regular class cards.

Let us know if you have any questions.

A bit about Food4Kids
It was assessed 1,500 children in Hamilton and 400 children in Halton were going without food each and every weekend. A program model was developed with a focus on 3 distinct areas:

1)Food provided to children at-risk would be healthy

2)Each child in the home would receive their own food package, to ensure nourishment of all children in the home

3) The program model would ensure a non-stigmatizing process of food distribution to participants

Today, 1335 healthy food packages are distributed in 89 schools throughout Hamilton and Halton.
