Joy + Connection through the Power of Bellydance
Experience the joy and connection of bellydance in this special class, designed to celebrate movement, community, and positivity! We’ll begin with gentle, mindful exercises that help you connect with your body, focusing on the sensations and flow of each movement. This part of the class invites you to explore bellydance basics with awareness, finding confidence and comfort in every shimmy, circle, and undulation.
In the second half, we’ll come together to dance in a circle—a powerful tradition found across cultures and history. Dancing in a circle is a beautiful way to share joy, happiness, and positivity with others, creating a strong sense of community and belonging. As we move together, we lift each other up and experience the energy of collective celebration.
"Joy + Connection through the Power of Belly Dance" is open to all levels, offering a welcoming space to deepen your connection with your body and with others. Join us for an uplifting class that will leave you feeling joyful, energized, and connected!
