Wear something comfortable to move in and slightly form fitting and bring some water for hydration. Bare belly is optional. You will want a scarf, coin belt or fringe belt that fits around the hips. To easier execute turns I suggest wearing ballet slippers, soft jazz shoes or socks with non-slip soles. |

| Why take classes?
"I've tried to watch a tape here and there to see how to dance.....The tapes haven't taught me anything as they're too fast, and don't show the isolation of movement. I got a lot more out of listening to you than I've gotten from the tapes....I liked the way you explained things, and they made sense." -Ann, workshop attendee "...the class was excellent and I learned quite a bit from the instructor....(she was) good at showing the breakdowns on the moves that were taught...I also enjoyed the extra little tips and techniques..." -Karen, workshop attendee "I enjoy learning Belly Dancing with Kira. She is great and have so many good ideas for dancing and creating choreography's for our class. I am 50 years old and I feel younger and getting stronger. Thank you Kira!" -Rossie, student |
| The Basics of Belly Dance The Basics give you a basic overview of Belly Dance. This class will teach a breakdown of each move, drilling and transitioning from one move to the next. Great for all levels for technique and motion study of dance moves. It is a fun, friendly and accepting class. |
| Choreography Classes A choreography class is a full choreography in 6 classes. Choreography classes require a commitment to attend all classes since reviewing for the benefit of an absent student is not always possible. If makeup’s are not available, then a private session would be suggested to catch up. Students with no previous experience will need to have completed 2 sessions of the Basics course because moves are not broken down for this class. Classes utilizing props will require a prop for class and to practice at home in order to get the full benefit of the course. I will have information available for those who wish to purchase their own and a limited number of loaner props available for class use. |
| Tribal Combos This course is on basicTribal moves and combinations used in improvisational belly dance. We will learn moves, combinations, cues for group dancing that can also be used in Tribal choreography. This class will teach a rotating schedule of combos used in different local and national troupes. They will include a breakdown of each move, drilling, cueing, and transitioning from one move to the next. |
