All belly dance classes use 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!
Learn From An Expert While Having Fun
Delve into this beautiful art form in motion with an instructor with over 30 years training! Our lead instructor, Jennifer Secrist Goran, specializes in the belly dance form known as FCBD®Style (aka: American Tribal Style® or ATS®).
She will safely guide you thru each dance movement and help you create a fun weekly dance practice. Jennifer’s teaching style has often been praised by her students (just check out our website or social media reviews!). Her reputation for creating a strong community of dancers who work to reach their best potential while supporting their fellow classmates is well deserved.
To join us online via zoom OR in-person at our studio, simply purchase your preferred class from our weekly class options.
We typically record each class, as well. This means if you have to miss a class or want to rewatch class you can! Recording links are shared in our private facebook group and available for a limited time after each class. As a bonus, students who set up auto enrollment will get a free online class.
We offer class spaces on a first come, first served basis. Only students who set up auto enrollment have a guaranteed spot reserved in future sessions. This helps us keep class sizes small so everyone gets access to the best learning experience possible.
Email or call us at 303-859-5599 with any questions.
What Levels Of Belly Dance Classes Do You Offer?
You can sign up for our Monday or Thursday night classes. We offer introductory level 1 classes at 6pm followed by an intermediate level 2 classes at 7pm. There are additional advanced Tuesday night classes available by audition.
What If I Miss A Class?
Most classes will be recorded and available to session based students for 4 days after each class. We will share a link in our private facebook groups for each class by the next morning. If you want to watch the recordings be sure to visit the appropriate group. Not a member of the facebook group? Just ask your teacher and she’ll give you instructions on joining. These groups are also a great way to keep up with other news around classes and performances, too.
What Is Auto Enroll?
Auto enroll is a time saving feature we offer all of our students. We keep a credit card on file for you and simply run your session payment 7 days before the new session starts. No need to go online and purchase future class sessions. A space is now reserved indefinitely for you for as long as you are set up for auto enroll. To cancel auto enroll, simply let us know anytime before the next auto enroll payment gets charged.
Auto enrollment perks:
- Easy and time saving, no need to log online and purchase your session
- Free second night of online classes
- 10% off qualifying online or in-person product purchases with coupon

Not Sure What Class You To Sign Up For?
Both of our Monday and Thursday night 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.
Take both nights to get the maximum amount of dancing in. The extra dancing is good for the mind, body and soul!

Drop In Classes
Want to try one of our belly dance classes with us but can’t commit to a full 6 week 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. Purchase your drop in class by 5pm and we will email you a registration link for that night’s online class. Want to join us in the studio for your drop in? No problem, you are welcome to join us in the studio if space permits (you will see an ‘out of stock’ notice if a particular class is too full to allow drop in students).
In-Person Belly Dance Class FAQs:
Are In-Person Classes Safe?
There is always a risk of exposure with live classes.
We will wipe down the studio doors and hand rails as needed. During class we will run our heavy duty HEPA filter air purifier. Even with these precautions there is a risk of contracting covid, flu and colds. We suggest that if you are in a high risk category that you choose the online format.
Currently masks are optional.
The best thing we can all do to keep each other safe is to not come to class if you are sick or have been exposed to someone who is.
What If The Teacher Gets Sick?
If a substitute teacher is not available you will have a credit for the missed class(es) in the following session.

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 zoom link. If you don’t have the app you will be prompted to install it (don’t worry it’s quick, easy and doesn’t take up much space). On the night of class: Go to the link about 5-10 minutes before class and type in your password, if prompted. Once you are in 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 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
What If I’m Not Sure If I’ll Like Online Classes?
Online meetings & classes are more common now than just a few years ago. During the pandemic we developed a good system to help our students continue their studies. Many still enjoy the online classes even when in person is an option. If you find after taking a couple classes online that you’d prefer to switch to in person classes we can help set that up for you, if we have space in the studio.
