How the sessions work...

Session 1: is for...

* New dancers

* Returning from an extended break

* Dancers who want to use the session as continued good practice.

​

Session 2: is for dancers after they have completed 16 weeks (16 hours) of the Tenderfoot class to build up their skill level.

​

Session 3: is for dancers that can perform all the moves from levels 1 and 2 without prompting and have a good understanding of level 3 moves.

Session 4: is for the performance troupe that dancers have completed their necessary training, are have a proven knowledge of troupe dance routines and are able to dance these unprompted. 

​

Once most students have danced 16 continuous weeks of lessons, they should be able to demonstrate the basics of belly dance and have more muscle strength, control, and be able to understand and demonstrate basic dance movements.  From this point a student will be invited to attend the follow on session to start adding to this dance base.  Everyone learns at different rates, so be kind to yourself!
