Belly Dance Workshop

In this workshop we will connect deeper with this expressive and exciting dance form with exploration of belly dance’s origins, muscle isolations, and unique ties to musicality and emotion! We will learn to increase our body awareness through technique, gaining knowledge of what muscle groups are actually being used in belly dance movement, and drilling of those flirty shimmies and fluid motions this dance is known for. You will also learn an original choreography from Stefanie that fuses the enticing traditional style with new contemporary music to get your body active, working, and grooving!
This series is suitable for both those who are completely new to belly dance and seasoned students; everybody is welcome!!
