Belly Dance Basics (Beginner Level 1)

Teacher: Omaris Dancer

We begin with the basics! Begin discovering how to isolate your muscles to move your body in the fluid ways specific to belly dance. All styles of belly dance begin with the same root technique, isolations, and layering. At this level we'll start exploring how to move our bodies in new and unusual ways! Discover muscles you've never had, gain coordination through engaging your body and your mind.

Each instructor has their own flavor to add, and their own personal flair, however… Show more the techniques and isolations are the same.
This class is the foundation for future belly dance studies, or, a great weekly exercise plan. Either way, just plain fun! Transform your body and mind. Be Strong, Be Sexy, Belly Dance!

Notes:
Students should expect to take at least ten classes to begin to feel comfortable with the moves. Everyone learns at their own pace; when you feel you are ready for a challenge, ask your instructor about trying a Level 2 class. Often students stay in Level 1 classes for 2 - 6 months before adding a Level 2 class. Students can expect to continue taking Level 1 classes to build muscle memory while challenging themselves in a Level 2 class at the same time.
