Mid-August Missive: News, and Updates
New fall workshop!
Thursdays 7:30 to 8:30PM
I am excited to be adding a fundamentals class back on to my teaching roster this fall after close to a year of only advanced classes and private lessons.
Join us Thursday evenings if you are new to belly dance, new to Egyptian style belly dance, have been on hiatus from class, or want to refresh, refine, or just have the noble pursuit of keeping up with your basics. I aim for a musical approach to the solo social and performance styles of this multifaceted dance form, and I teach with a roots focused, body friendly, music oriented, and culturally contextualized methodology. We'll move a lot to some great tunes, be challenged, and likely have a few laughs along the way (farha--joy--is also at the core of my approach to dance!)!

The joy of my week--Mondays with Monica!
Classes focus on maintaining strong technique, developing performance skills, putting emotion behind the movement, distinguishing between styles, learning about the larger bellydance community and events, and ethics in belly dancing. All classes will include an improvised dance along. I get to challenge a vast and varied group of experienced dancers to all sorts of cool stuff. Been dancing for a minute? Join us!
