Why take bellydance classes?
Bellydancing is a great way to develop grace, coordination and core strength and, more generally, to connect with your body.
Bellydance is a great, low-impact form of exercise that's entertaining and fun rather than grueling, and when done correctly it presents little risk of injury.
Bellydance is mentally and creatively stimulating in a great number of ways. It's a window into the performing arts of the Middle East and North Africa. In class, you'll hear traditional music from this region as well as Middle Eastern-inspired music from around the world.
You'll be challenged mentally by learning how to execute complex moves and combinations, how to use special props such as zils or sword, or how to perform choreographies. You'll also be challenged creatively by learning how to improvise a dance with a group of your fellow students, or how to develop your own choreography. There will always be something new to work on, and everything you learn will open up new possibilities.

Bellydance classes are a good place to meet new people. I work hard to ensure that my classes have a fun, welcoming, and supportive atmosphere. I am lucky to have a completely awesome group of students whom I think anyone would be glad to make friends with!
My dance classes are also a great way to learn about and transition into performing. In every other session of Fusion FLOW class, we work on a choreography which we then perform at one or more of our area's many student events.
These events are the perfect resource to really bond with your fellow students, to get experience performing in front of supportive audiences, and to broaden your bellydance horizons-- not to mention a good excuse to dress up in a cool costume and wear lots of makeup. Even if you're not in FLOW class, as a student you will be welcome and encouraged to participate in our student showcases and other events.
Perhaps most importantly, bellydance is THE MOST FUN THING TO DO IN THIS ENTIRE WORLD.*
*This statement is a reflection of my own personal opinion. Your own experience may vary slightly.
