About the Levels:
Level 1
This is the foundation level - students will learn good dance posture, basic isolations and traveling steps in a fun hour-long class that will keep you moving!
Level 2
This level introduces more challenging isolations, and layers the isolations from the previous level with shimmies and footwork. Students learn basic Arabic rhythms and how to identify some commonly used instruments.
Level 3
Level 3 is full of dynamic and fun combinations and technique drills that will make you sweat! The classes at this level will start to focus on musicality and expression in dance.
Level 4
Level 4 is about refining movements and deepening your connection with your body. Drills and "brain teasers" keep it challenging.
Props Class
This class requires the participants to have a knowledge of basic bellydance movements and steps. For the summer 2010 session, two props will be taught per class. For the first 3 classes we will do veil every class and for the last 3 classes we will do double veil. For the second prop, I will cover cane, sword, finger cymbals (sagat, zils) and possibly Isis wings depending on the number of participants. The props will be posted ahead of time so that you may bring your own if you wish, and there will be a number available at the studio for class use.
