Teacher: Moyra Banks 
 
A Middle-Eastern style known for fluid hip movements, torso isolations, and graceful arm work, Belly Dance emphasises musicality, expression, and refined technique.

At Dance Base, our All Levels Belly Dance Class incorporates dance styles from across Egypt and the surrounding regions. Some weeks we will explore the elegance of classic Belly Dance and some weeks we will delve into stronger folkloric styles or fast and funky street styles. Each class will teach you a range of movements so you are in control and can choose how much embellishment you want to add to make it your own. A chance to keep fit and active by shaking your shimmy!

Please wear comfortable clothing and trainers. Don’t forget to bring your bottle of water!

This class will be participating in our annual Christmas show!
