All classes will continue using our hybrid format! That means you can join us in-person at our studio in Boulder, Colorado or live online via zoom from anywhere. And most classes are recorded and available for a limited time if you have to miss a class!
We will continue to offer in-person spaces at a reduced capacity to our students on a first come, first served basis. Currently masks are optional. Keep the masks handy though, just in case the local situation with the pandemic changes again.
To join us online or in person, simply purchase your preferred class from our weekly class options. Online students will join us via the free zoom app for class.
ALL students will have access to class recordings shared in our private facebook groups for a limited time after class. Additionally those students who call and set up auto enrollment will get a free bonus online class.
Should conditions with covid continue to improve we continue to increase capacity, slowly adding more in-person slots. As of the day of writing this we have 6 in person spaces available during our Monday level 1 session and 4 spaces available during our Thursday level 1 session.

Online Belly Dance Classes FAQs:
How Do I Join A Class Using Zoom?
Zoom is a free app that works on phones, computers and tablets alike. When you purchase a class we will email you a link to register. You only have to register once per session. If you don’t have the app installed you will be prompted to allow it to be installed (it’s quick and doesn’t take up much space on a device). On the night of class: Go to the link about 5-10 minutes before class and type in your password, if prompted. You’ll be in a ‘waiting room’ until the instructor admits you to join our classes (this helps keep uninvited guests out). Once you are part of the class you can choose to have your camera and microphone on or off. You can pin the instructor’s box so that this is the main screen you see during class. Just click on the 3 little dots in the upper right corner of the instructor’s video and select ‘pin’.
What If I Miss A Class?
Most classes will be recorded and available for 48 hours. We will put a link in our private facebook groups for each class after the recording has been uploaded. If you want access to the recorded links be sure to visit the appropriate facebook group. Not a member of the facebook group? Just ask your teacher and she’ll give you instructions on joining the private groups.. they are also a great way to keep up with other news around classes and performances.
What Are The Perks Of Zoom Classes:
- Join classes live, as they happen
- Interact with the instructor and classmates by simply speaking into your mic (or typing your question in the chat section if you prefer)
- Optionally allow the group to see you on screen to ask questions, show movement questions, etc
- Ability to be paired up to practice lead and follow concepts in level 2, 3 and 4 classes with fellow dancers

Not Sure What Class You To Sign Up For?
Both of our Monday and Thursday night online dance classes will be teaching you the movements and steps of our dance form, along with basic zil (finger cymbals). Although all level 1 & 2 classes use the same curriculum, the movements and steps taught in the Monday night class will be different than the Thursday night class that same week. So you can take both nights to get the maximum amount of dancing in (many of our students do). The extra dancing is good for the mind, body and soul!
Questions on which level is right for you? Check out this general class FAQ. Still have questions? Just email Jennifer. She in the studio most Mondays – Fridays.
Drop In Classes
Want to try one of our belly dance classes with us but can’t commit to a full 6 week session? Want to try out our classes before signing up for a session? Then this option is for you!
Drop In Classes:
Single drop in class purchases are good for 1 time use during the week purchased. Once you purchase a drop in class we will email you a registration link for that night’s online class. If you want to join us for an in person drop in class, please email or call to see if we still have space in class for you to join us in the studio. Please plan to register no later than 5pm if you plan to join us that same night.
General In Person & Online Belly Dance Class Questions:
When Will More In-Person Spaces Become Available?
We’ve been able to keep up our dance skills as a group quite well with our online format and that is definitely a testament to the dedication and great attitude of everyone participating. And although we love the interplay with our fellow dancers when we are live and in person we need to balance this with the safety of everyone involved. We currently are operating at 50% in-person capacity. Jennifer is monitoring guidelines from the CDC and local and state officials to determine when it may be safe to add additional capacity at our studio. At this time it is unclear the exact date this will occur. Once we get the go ahead and feel safe to increase class capacity we will do so.
What If The Teacher Gets Sick?
As during normal in person class offerings, should the instructor get sick and be unable to teach a class you will have a credit for the missed class(es) in the following session, if a substitute teacher is not available that night.
What If I’m Not Sure If I’ll Like Online Classes?
Online dance classes are new to many people so you may not know what to expect. Currently our students are thoroughly enjoying the online classes, but, if you find after taking a couple classes that you’d prefer to wait until more slots for in-person classes are available, we’d be happy to set you up with a credit for any remaining online classes towards in-person classes in the future. Just let us know asap.. any unattended classes remaining in the session will credited towards in-person classes.
