With multi-level adult classes, you can start to belly dance this month! Raena is a patient teacher and tailors lessons to meet the needs of her students. She introduces material in creative ways to appeal to different learning styles. When new choreography is introduced, everyone "drills" the movements to achieve basic mastery; she works methodically and repeats material until the class is ready to move on. When all is going well, Raena adds in the travel patterns and weight changes so you begin to dance (instead of staying in place). The "icing on the cake" is the introduction of arm patterns, lower and upper body combinations, shimmies, and fun accents. This may sound like a lot but, no worries, you can modify as much or as little so you can dance at your own pace and enjoy the journey! If you are brand new to dance, contact Raena about the next monthly Foundations Workshop.
