Intermediate Belly Dance at Arthur Murray Studio

Location: Arthur Murray Dance Studio - at their New Location!
13343 Hwy 183 N. Suite 285 Austin, Texas 78750 (North-west Austin)
Located at Anderson Mill Road and Hwy 183 in the Anderson Arbor Shopping Center behind the Cheddars and Red Robin.

This one-hour class will cover a progressive curriculum of belly dance movements and concepts. Our focus is "Prop Mezza: A Sampling of the Most Delicious Belly Dance Props". Over the course of 7 weeks, we will cover props such as cane, a variety of veils/capes, wings, sword/tray balancing, and more. We will learn basic techniques, the history and background of each prop, appropriate music selection and costuming, and a combo or 2 with each prop. You do not need to have all listed props to participate. I will have some to borrow.

All classes are for adult women (18 and up) only. Attire: comfortable clothing, bare feet or dance slippers, hip scarves, veils and finger cymbals can be purchased or borrowed in class.

Absence & Cancellation: Learning Belly Dance requires dedication and practice. You will only get out what you put in. With this in mind, please limit absence to a maximum of once per session. Classes are non-refundable and non-transferable.
