Upcoming events & Workshops
Term 4 2024 classes
Term 4 will run from Saturday 5th October until Sat 16th November , a 6-7 week term depending on the class. This will be a short term due to family commitments.
Our focus this term will be choreography revision, technique breakdown and general fun as we prepare for a performance at the Whitehorse festival in Nunawading on Sunday 17th November!
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 again combining the Saturday ‘in-studio’ Tribal and Folkloric classes into a 1-hour session-with 30 mins of each style. The Wednesday 6.30pm class is also running as a Tribal style class this term.
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 16th November and will resume at the end of January 2025.
Stay tuned for possible Summer school workshops.
See the Term 4 2024 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.
