New January Series Belly Dance Classes with Chaya Leia of Venus Rising Belly Dance

Foundations of American Tribal Style Belly Dance

woven in with other key concepts in Belly Dance.

Mixed Level Tribal Fusion and Veil Technique
Tuesdays 6:45 pm – 8:00 pm
January 3rd through February 28th

We connect with the fluid nature of the spine and the deep-roots rhythms our divinely feminine, earthy movement. We will explore elements of Tribal Fusion belly dance, which is a style that blends modern dance forms with traditional styles of belly dance. We will also explore the art of dancing with silk veils through the concept that the veil is an extension of the spirit. This will be a performance oriented class, but performing is never required.

Beginners Level 1: Belly Dance Fundamentals
Wednesdays 6:30 pm – 7:45 pm
January 4th – February 29th

The class is designed to teach basic belly dance posture and movements through aligning gracefully with the serpentine, fluid qualities of the spine. We tune in to the belly and move from a womb-centered place explore rhythmic, dynamic and sensual movements. We will practice exercises and drills to enhance strength, tone, and flexibility to then enhance our feelings of health, well-being and vitality.

Intermediate Level 2: American Tribal Style (ATS)
Wednesdays 8:00 pm – 9:15 pm
January 4th – February 29th

Inspired by the serpentine nature of the spine, we will delve into some basic belly dance movements and layering techniques. We will do this with loving compassion to body, engaging the dance as a tool to attain a heightened sense of well-being. We will also practice learning the cues of American Tribal Style  (ATS), an tribal improvisational belly dance style developed by Carolena Nericcio of Fat Chance Belly Dance. This class will have a performance element, but not requirement. Please feel free to join even if you have no desire to perform. The practice of simply learning the improv cues to be able to freely dance in a unified way with other woman is rewarding in and of itself.

If you have any questions about whether this class will be suited to your needs, please contact Chaya.

Drop in class – $15
1 Eight-Week Series – $96
2 Eight-Week Series – $180
3 Eight-Week Series – $260
