The official blurb:
(Ages 15+) Bellydance, also known as “raqs sharqi” and “danse orientale,” is known for toning and shaping the body. Join us as we learn basic technique and get a fun workout at the same time! Each class includes a warmup and cooldown, and teaches basic slow and fast dance movements that are the foundation of this dance form. No previous dance experience is necessary.
Please wear comfortable clothing that you can move in, such as leotards; tank tops and shorts, yoga pants or leggings. We will be doing some conditioning on the floor, so if you choose to wear a broomstick skirt, please wear leggings beneath it. You may dance barefoot or in soft dance slippers.
The twelve week course is divided into two six-class sessions. Join us for either one or both.

Continuing bellydance will  take beginning bellydance a step futher, concentrating on more control over muscle isolations, and focussing on transitions and fluidity. In addition we will begin learning to play zils (finger cymbals). Finger cymbals will be available to borrow or purchase.
