Good news! With multi-level adult classes, you don't have to wait for a new beginner class - you can start to belly dance this week! Raena experience makes it possible for her to adjust each of her lessons to meet the needs of that day's particular group of students - slowing down and repeating when needed or moving along to more challenging material. New students can jump in because we always start with the feet and hips movements, practicing it or "drilling" until everyone has the basic pattern down. We do the same for upper body isolations. When all is going well, Raena introduces simple 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, and fun accents. Everyone, regardless of their previous experience, is introduced to the arms patterns, shimmies, and other accents - so they know what they are working towards - BUT each student gets to decide when they feel ready to add those extra layers. You get to work at your own pace and enjoy the journey!
