***NEW DAYS AND TIMES!!!!***
Beginning Belly Dance ~With Laylia
Come one come all, especially you! Take a chance and explore the fun and sensual side of yourself! Join
us while we explore the ancient art of the Shimmy, lock, snake arms and
undulations as well as folkloric and modern fusion Techniques by doing
them! Experience the mystique, sensuality and
silly side of this dance form. Dancers of all sizes and shapes are
invited to take a break from life and come explore belly dance. We invite you to have fun, follow along, and take things at your own pace- doing as much or as little as you like! Start Anytime!
What to wear: Anything that is comfortable! Flexible soled danceshoes, ballet slippers, dance sandles or barefoot. If you have it- something fun around your hips. Hair up if it is hot or bothersome to you. You may want to use finger cymbals etc... you may purchase these from us or shop online~
We will be sitting on the ground (for those who cannot chair modification is usually available

teacher." ~L. Peterson
