Ltd, 9030 McKenney Ave, St. Albert, T8N 2T7 Course Description: You will learn a Drum Solo and a Beledi choreography over this 8-week course. What is a Drum Solo: The drum solo showcases the dancer's technical mastery, isolation control, and playful personality. What is a Beledi: It is an earthy, traditional Egyptian urban folk style of dance and music, as well as the specific rhythm that drives it. You do NOT have to memorize any of the mini-choreographies, because every week I will guide and remind you! Learning moves in a choreography allows you to see and feel how one move flows into the next. What to wear: Wear comfortable exercise clothes. You do not need to show your belly. Traditionally belly dance is done barefoot but you can wear socks, a ballet slipper or soft jazz shoes if you prefer. Recital: There is no dance recital. Just come have fun learning this ancient art form and getting a great low-impact exercise. WhatsApp: This app is the easiest way for me to share a video of the choreography with you so you can practice during the week. Download the app prior to the class with the phone number you put on your registration. Payment: I am a small business so if possible I greatly appreciate if you can pay via etransfer or cash. I completely understand that paying for the class entirely upfront can be financially too much. I am very happy to setup a payment schedule with you if you need, like three payments of $68.25 Instructor: Laura Beauchamp
