Leave a comment

Enrolments are now open for Bacchus Marsh, Gisborne and Woodend.

Enrolments for the new class at Romsey Neighbourhood house open on the 15th January. Places are limited to 15 so give them a call on 5429 6724 to reserve your place. You can find them also on Facebook, their website is in progress. See previous post for more details.

What to wear: Comfortable stretchy clothes and dance shoes like Jazz ballet shoes, barefoot is also appropriate.  Sneakers tend to stick to the floor which makes it harder for some of the movements.  If you need to wear your orthotics, you can.

Bring a bottle of water, an exercise mat and a hip belt (beaded or coins) if you have one.

Belly dances rhythms and movements will get your body fit and toned for summer, all while having fun and being part of a wonderful group of ladies. Improve your confidence, experience self-acceptance and new friendships. Enjoy a low-impact exercise with an accredited instructor/performer.

Term 4 starts next week, there is NO CLASS Melbourne Cup week.

Enrolments are still open for Term 4 which runs from Monday 9th October through till the Wednesday 20th December.  10 weeks for $160 or $20 casual.  My classes run for an hour and a half to include a through 20-30 minute warm up and tone session time depends on what techniques will be taught in the lesson.  45-55 minutes of technique, combos, drill or choreography along with a 15 min stretch cool down at the end of class.  See the classes page for easy payment options.

Beginners:

For beginners, I’m offering a 4-week sampler course $64.  It’s a chance for everyone to give Belly Dance a try without having to commit to a full 10-week course.  This ‘Sampler’ is a very affordable way to give it a go to see if you like it. For those of you who wish to continue at the end of the 4-week course, the ‘sampler course’ amount will be deducted from the term fee. You can be assured that you will be able to fit right into the class and be able to enjoy the following sessions with confidence. It’s the perfect way to try it out before committing to a full term.

What will we cover?

Each class starts with a 20 minute warm-up followed by 40 minutes of dance technique combinations and concludes with a 15 min cool-down.

As a beginner you will learn the following techniques:

  • Belly Dance Foundations
  • Travelling steps – all directions
  • Combination: mini routine of techniques learnt in first 2 weeks
  • Introduction to Veil

What to bring?

Please bring a yoga mat and water bottle. Dance shoes & hip belt if you have them (optional), you can wear bare feet. Please arrive five minutes before ready to start your session.
