Bellydance for fitness: move with confidence (all levels women only)

About this course

The course introduces core belly dance movements, including hip drops, lifts, circles and figure-of-eight patterns, alongside arm positions and transitions. Participants practise combining these movements with music at different tempos, working on posture, coordination, rhythm and stamina. Sessions also cover basic movement terminology and include cultural and historical references to the dance style. The course is designed around learning and refining foundational movements rather than a performance-focused format.
