Classes

Welcome to Dance with Kirsten, classes designed to introduce students into the joyful and captivating world of belly dance (also known as Raks Sharqi - Dance of the East). Participants will explore and practice fundamental movements of the dance, including hip, chest, torso and shoulder isolations, arms, traveling steps, and the use of props. 

Classes emphasize the joy of dance in a safe, supportive environment.

Dress in comfortable clothes, soft dance shoes, socks or bare feet are recommended, and shimmy belts will be available for students during the classes. No street shoes allowed in the dance studio.

October Sessions

Skills, Drills and Combos 6:30 to 7:30 pm Monday Evenings.

All levels are welcome. We will keep exploring the fundamentals of the dance and its varieties - breaking down technique, drilling moves to create muscle memory and putting them together into short combos that will create a choreography. For October we will focus on movements and combinations to go along with the song I put a Spell on You (version by Natasha Atlas). We will also keep reviewing September's A Very Short Drum Solo, as time permits. 

November Sessions

Skills, Drills and Combos 6:30 to 7:30 pm Monday Evenings

November is the month to review everything we have learned so far and refine technique. We will be working on smoothing out the basic moves as well as drills, combos and some improv. We will start learning finger cymbals this month.
