Egyptian Drills/Belly Dance Class

body. Instruction is broken down step-by-step for all ages and body
types to adapt to, while challenging those with a professional dance
background. Each class also offers base choreography so that you
have something to take home! Ashley will instruct you how to listen
to your body and music to personalize the dance using your
creativity. This class is not only fun, it tones and sculpts the
body for a beautiful result!
Mystery of the Veil
The Middle-Eastern art form of belly dance uses various props to
enhance and portray the dancer's story. One infamous prop used
throughout the belly dance scene is the veil. From silk to chiffon,
veils are fun and easy. Through the beginner veil course, Ashley
will teach you how such a simple movement with a veil can enhance
your technique and portray your creativity. She will use basic steps
layered with a veil. Experienced and non-experienced dancers are
welcome, dual enrollment in Mystery of the Veil and Egyptian Drills
is suggested but not required.
