Bellydance Basics Class

WEDNESDAYS 6:30-7:30 pm
Isle of Avalon (Lakewood Ranch)
$110 for 8 week session, 60 min classes

Join Misha to explore the beautiful, ancient art of bellydance! In 2009 Misha is launcing a BRAND NEW Basics curriculum suitable for absolute through advanced beginners. Basics is divided into three 8-week core courses: Sapphire, Emerald, and Ruby. Each class focuses on a different concept of the dance and is deisgned to help students learn core movements and proper posture, along with the history and styles of the dance, creating a firm foundation for future study. Each movement will be carefully broken down and drilled through the use of fun dance combinations and students will receive handouts detailing each week's class. Throughout class students will practice what they learn in a dance "kata," unique to that particular 8-weeks, designed to help them learn how to dance each movement as well as practice good technique. We will also learn about costumes, too!
