About this course
The course introduces the foundations of belly dance through step-by-step teaching. Participants work on isolating the hips, chest, arms and other parts of the body, then combine these movements into coordinated sequences and choreography. Sessions also cover posture, arm fluidity and shimmying, with movement explored through strong rhythms and musical phrasing. Individual movements are broken down to support learning, and learners receive feedback throughout the course. Content may vary according to the course length and learners’ needs.
