Our classes are designed to be fun and inclusive, and cater to beginner and intermediate dancers, 15+ years (unless stated otherwise). A traditional belly dance class is low-impact and works the body gently from head to toe. Through our classes, you can also gain an understanding and appreciation of the history, music, and stylisation associated with Middle Eastern dance.
