Raqs sharqi / belly dance

Covers the fundamental movements and basic techniques of belly dance: isolations, undulations, hip and chest circles, figure 8s and shimmies. We also address good dance posture, explore musicality, and build improvisation and choreography skills.

Fusion belly dance

Fusion is rooted in traditional raqs sharqi technique, so you learn the same fundamentals, including isolations, undulations, circles, figure 8s and shimmies, plus posture, musicality and improvisation. This course also brings in elements of other styles of dance.
