How the sessions work...
Session 1: is for new dancers, those who are returning from an extended break and those 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!

OUR DANCE CLASSES
Learn the art of belly dance
We love belly dance and we hope that comes across in our classes.
Your dance journey will begin with the fundamentals of belly dance that are the building blocks, which means that from building your posture, body strength and flexibility, we will take you on your dance dance journey. You'll learn dance combinations and choreography to add more layers to your dancing so your skills continue to grow. Our dance levels start with beginners or 'Tenderfoot' as we like to call it, through to more experienced dance levels.
​
We pride ourselves in also supporting the dance community too, so be prepared to boost your social diary too (if you want) to go to belly dance shows, hafla's and performances.
​
As this is a cultural dance form, we want to ensure that we cover this too, so you will learn where moves originate from and understand different elements to show respect.
​
To start your journey... here's what you need to know about our classes and workshops.
