8 Elements of Belly Dance · Phase 1 · 2026

This is an in-person event.

Phase 1: Initiation is open to all dancers who want to strengthen their belly dance fundamentals. We recommend at least one year of prior dance experience to get the most out of the practice sessions.

About the schedule:
Classes run daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with additional homework each evening. The final day, Saturday, is testing and party day. We usually end between 7 and 9pm, depending on the intensive.

Once registered, you’ll receive a confirmation email with everything you need to prepare, including a link to join our Telegram group—perfect for finding roommates, planning meetups, and staying connected.

Optional Testing:
A skills assessment is available on the final day of the intensive. Registration for testing opens once the intensive begins. Successful completion qualifies dancers to continue to the next phase of the 8 Elements™ program.
