Class Descriptions:
Belly Dance Basics

This class gives you a foundation of basic moves including isolations, foot patterns, and arm, hand, and upper body movements. This is the foundation on which all DDLC classes are built. Regardless of previous belly dance experience, this class is recommended for everybody. Belly Dance Basics works on an 8-week rotation. You can start this class anytime in the rotation.

Belly Dance: The Next Step
Step up to working your technique at a quicker pace. This class focuses on drills to help you refine what you learned in belly dance basics and introduces you to more isolations and concepts in belly dance. Belly Dance: The Next Step Is a great compliment class to Belly Dance Basics and Just Belly Dance.

Just Belly Dance (Formerly called Belly Dance Combos)
This class helps you put it all together with combinations to keep you moving. Technique from the Basics class will be referenced but not broken down. Just Belly Dance is a great class to combine with any other class to help you hone your skills and put them into action. Just Belly Dance is also great if you just want to move to exciting and fun music. Some of the combos learned in this class will be used as community jam at DDLC parties and small events.

Belly Dance Boot Camp
Take your technique to the next level! This class includes a warm up to build stamina and strength, covers basic technique at a quicker pace, and introduces new concepts in using your technique. We’ll challenge you and help you achieve! Boot Camp is a great complement class to Just Belly Dance or the Choreography classes.

Belly Dance Choreography
This class teaches a specific choreography in a specific stylization such as Modern Egyptian, Folkloric Egyptian, Turkish Romany, Flamenco Fusion, Funk or Hip Hop Fusion, Tribal Fusion, etc. It is a good idea to be able to regularly attend this class rather than drop in as the choreography builds from week to week. Start dates of new choreographies will be posted. New choreography start dates: March 6 Choukrane and April 8 Aziza.

Zumba! World Dance Workout
Get your groove on! This is a fun way to move, sweat and have a good time! Forget the workout, join the party!

Specialty Classes
* Check events page for current schedule. Specialty classes complement your regular weekly class schedule and will be offered periodically. When offered as a one-hour class, monthly passes and drop in are available. When offered as a multi-hour workshop, additional rates apply.
