Students will receive a list of many of the Foundation moves they will be practicing in class, from hip and torso isolations, to footwork patterns across the floor. The pace is kept slow and steady, meant for absolute beginners to the dance. Students may advance at their own pace, making sure to communicate with the instructor about their progress. When they feel they are ready, with the instructor’s recommendation, students can also begin to attend any Level 2 class.
In this class we will also begin to familiarize you with playing ‘finger cymbals’, or zills. No fancy rhythms just the basics of keeping the beat! This way your sense of musicality with develop in conjunction with your dance, firmly connecting you to the music.
Students will need to purchase zills, sold in the Boutique. We dance barefoot or with jazz shoes if you prefer. No skirts please. Yoga pants and tank top are recommended. Coin belts are also recommended, and are also carried in the Boutique.
Length of study: 2 - 8 months.
This class introduces the new student to many of the key isolations of belly dance. Students work with drilling technique, getting their bodies used to a new way of moving. This lays the groundwork for any and every style of belly dance! Creating muscle memory is key in this class to prepare for all of our other classes. No previous experience necessary!
