This class is for individuals ages 14+ with no belly dance experience or who have only taken one class, (perhaps even this class once already) but it is important to have a solid understanding of belly dance moves and technique before advancing onto our Intermediate classes. During each 1-hour class you will learn different moves and techniques of Raqs Sharqi Egyptian Belly Dance. Laura will teach you mini combinations using the moves you learn. You will also be introduced to different belly dance outfits and props, including veil, cane and fan veil. There is no memorization of choreography and no dance recital. Just come have fun learning this ancient art form and getting some low-impact exercise. What to 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. Instructor: Laura Beauchamp
