Term 4 2025 classes
Term 4 will run from Saturday 4th October – until Saturday 13th December.
The Thursday and Saturday classes are now held in Elsternwick, at 560 Glenhuntly Rd in the ‘Music Works Magic’ studio. We run with the school terms, but do not run on public holidays and holiday weekends.
Our focus is new choreography, revision, technique breakdown and general fun. Performance opportunities are available occasionally for those wanting to have a go!
This term will have the usual range of Oriental Egyptian bellydance classes from Beginners to Advanced, as well as American Tribal Fusion style and Folklore classes. For term 4 we are as usual combining the Saturday ‘in-studio’ Tribal and Folkloric classes into a 1-hour session-with 30 mins of each style.
Regular Zoom classes are running as usual. Monday evening is a 1-hour class at 7pm – Oriental Bellydance, and a Tuesday morning 1.5 hr class at 10am in Tribal/Folklore.
The end of this term will finish on Saturday 13th December
See the Term 4 2025 timetable below for full details.
Class Descriptions
What Style Do We Teach?
In the beginning all classes learn a general form of Egyptian dance, with a focus on technique and applying them in a choreography. At the higher levels we begin the Egyptian style which has a strong abdominal focus, with more intricate moves and combinations. Choreography plays a greater role in the class structure. All classes will learn to use a variety of props – veils, canes, and zills (finger cymbals). Other props such as Isis wings, fan veils and sword may be taught if the class wishes.
Specialist classes in American Tribal style and many of the Folklore styles from the Middle East are also offered.
What should I wear to class?
Leotard or fitting top with leggings / gym pants.
Footwear is optional – bare-feet, jiffies or flat dance shoes are preferred.
Whatever you wear, ensure you feel comfortable. If you have a scarf or something to tie around your hips, bring it along (optional). Bring water.
