Advanced Specialty Classes with Razia

Advanced Specialty Classes are monthly ''mini workshops'' geared towards advanced and professional bellydancers with a minimum of two years' experience. These classes are challenging, motivating and very fun, and an understanding of basic bellydance technique and prop use will be assumed. Class topics and locations will be updated monthly.

Saturday, September 18th

Basically Amazing Technique: Get ready to overhaul your technique with a thorough analysis of all the belly dance basics-- from head to toe and back again! We'll cover muscle motivation, gooey torso work, razor-sharp isolation and of course, arms and hands. If you think basic technique is easy, think again!

Saturday, September 25th

Basically Amazing Travels: There's just too much amazing work for one class! Expanding upon the techniques and principles from our first class, we will take our dancing ''on the road'' with dynamic step combinations and floor patterns. Students are not required to attend the Technique class first, though it may be helpful!
