Classes Levels
Remember, the above is a very general guide for a rough overview of each level. The speed of your progression depends on many factors that are individual to you, and if you’re new to our School, talk to Tais to have a level assessment.
Open Level
This class is suitable for students of all levels. We will move ata faster pace than a regular beginners class, focusing on technique, with optional challenges for more experienced students. We will be getting our heart rate up with lots of movement combinations in a fun workout. Be prepared to have a great cardio workout and sweat up a storm!
Beginners Level
This class is designed for students new to belly dance or seeking to polish the basics. Students will learn basic belly dance technique, including posture, shimmies, isolations, undulations and traveling steps. No dance experience necessary!
Intermediate level
If you aspire to improve your bellydance skills further, we encourage you to join our Intermediate Level class. We will practice more complex combinations and floor patterns, learn to travel with various isolations and layering. The class is designed to allow students to learn stage presence and challenge themselves with a fun, bonding experience. We learn various bellydance routines (with and without props), which you will have an opportunity to perform, if you wish (no pressure!).
Advanced Level
These classes are designed to master your skills with challenging techniques and complex choreography. This is a faster paced learning environment where you will be simulated by being pushed outside your comfort zone each and every class! As well as technique, we learn various bellydance routines (with and without props), which you will have an opportunity to perform, if you wish .
