Absolutely! Anyone can learn to belly dance. The first move is the hardest, to step to that first class. :) We have all been first-time students. We're a pretty easy going group of people coming together with one goal in mind... have fun moving to music!
You only need a desire to learn something new and fun. Just wear comfortable clothes that you can move in. We usually dance barefoot or in soft no-tread shoes. Then walk into class the first time. We're so sure that you'll enjoy it that our first class is free!
No, not at all. Class is just a fun way to learn movement and exercise with friends. Performance is available and always optional.
Nope. In class we wear casual clothes or workout wear. Some show a belly and most don't.
Belly dancers are a wide variety of ages. We teach those as young as 14. However our oldest dancer is about to turn 80!
Belly dancing appeals to people in all walks of life. Dancing is gender friendly. We have entrepreneurs, managers, medical and dental techs, teachers, vets, community workers, drivers, engineers, art sellers, software developers, customer relationship agents. You get the picture.
Oh yes, you're moving! Along the way your body gets more flexible and stronger. Your balance and body awareness improves. Dance is focused and so can reduce stress and anxiety. And your brain loves to dance! Learning new steps and choreography improves brain health by creating new neural pathways.
