Belly Dance
BEGINNER SERIES Egyptian & Fusion Style Learn the expressive art of belly dance! The Belly Dance Basics class will break down the foundation isolations of
Middle Eastern Dance. Each class will begin with a review of these isolations to strengthen and tone the muscles. A great
low impact workout! We will then layer luscious arm movements on our isolations to begin dancing! Students who have taken
more than one series of the beginner class will be challenged to combine and layer these isolations into fun and sassy belly
dance combinations. Egyptian & Fusion Style Belly Dance are very similar in the Beginner Class. The styles
differ at the Intermediate Level.

Egyptian Style Belly Dance - Intermediate
(by instructor invitation)
This class builds upon the material and combinations
taught in the Beginner class and is offered by instructor invitation. (If you are new to the Nia Studio, but have at least
6 months of belly dance experience, contact Sahira to inquire.) Intermediate classes will begin with an aerobic focus on core
and isolation strengthening, then move on to layering hips, chest and arm movements. Learn to travel with basic dance movements
as well as layer shimmies over everything! We will also explore veil work and/or zills and how to incorporate this expression
into our dance. A new intermediate-level choreography will be taught in each series. Have you taken Belly Dance before
and are interested in the Intermediate series? Contact Sahira to confirm if the Intermediate class is right for you.

in beginning bellydance and luscious layering movements will be introduced to create beautiful and dazzling combinations.
Props may be added. A focus on energy and intent of movement will be added, as well as an introduction to performance techniques
and stage presence. Students will collaborate with the teacher on a student choreography suited to their collective level;
their final product will be performed at studio recitals. If you have been dancing at least six months, please drop in to
the beginning and intermediate classes to see where you feel most comfortable. If you feel that you are at an intermediate
