Join us Saturday March 26th from 11am – 12:15pm online via zoom or live in our studio in North Boulder. Limited in person spaces available.
A portion of the proceeds will be donated to help Alternatives To Violence– Working toward a safe community free from domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking.
Belly Dance As Fitness- Workshop Content:
Taught by our director, Jennifer Secrist Goran, who brings her 30 years of training in this dance form into this fun fitness dance workout.
The workshop starts with a brief intro, warm up and moving meditation. After that we will jump right in with a series of mid range cardio drills while we dance using some of our more rigorous fast steps. A fun way to get the blood circulating for sure! This workshop will provide a very brief breakdown of each step so no dance experience is necessary to enjoy this workout.
After our cardio section we’ll transition into some slower tempo music to ground us. Here we’ll use a whole new family of belly dance movements to tone muscles while calming our minds.
Exercising the body whole while experiencing a sublime dance style.. that’s our goal!
Prerequisite:
No prerequisite or previous dance experience needed to join in this workshop.
1.25 hours, $15 per person.
A great workout that that can be used regularly for exercise or as a cross training supplement to any of our weekly belly dance classes.
Dress For Class:
Any fitted top and pants or skirt that provides full range of movement is best. Consider the space you are dancing in when choosing footwear or not. Ideally you want to choose a large open space preferably with wood or smooth floors. Uneven surfaces and thick carpets are not recommended for safe at-home dancing.
Even if you won’t be sharing your screen you may find it fun to wear hip scarves, jeweled or tassel belts (optional).. all fun belly dance accessories that accent our dance movements.
Workshop Time:
Saturday March 26th, 11am – 12:15pm
