More About Our Thursday Night Level 1 & 2 Belly Dance Classes In Boulder, CO

Once you have completed a full course of Level 1 (about 4-5 sessions) you may want to take both Levels 1 and 2 together going forward with your studies. This allows you to continue to fine tune your movement technique in Level 1 while exploring the magic of group improvisational belly dance that is the foundation of Level 2. You’ll get the benefit of 2 great classes at the low price of $15!  Class session costs will vary depending on how many weeks there are in a particular session.

Class Content:

Level 1 Class:
In this class you will learn the fundamentals of our belly dance steps, foot and arm placement, posture, simple zil patterns and the mechanics of each movement. Although this class is suitable for the new student, it is also beneficial for the more advanced student to review, refine and polish their technique. Billing for classes is in 6 week ‘sessions’. To cover the large amount of movements that are part of our curriculum usually takes a minimum of 4-5 sessions. We break down the every movements from the ground up and typically alternate a fast movement one week, followed by a slow movement the next week

Level 2 Class:
Continue your exploration of belly dance with this fun, on-going class! Here we will start using all of the movements & steps you’ve learned in the level 1 classes in new formations geared towards group improvisational dancing. Emphasis for this class will be on gaining leading and following skills thru development of cues, transitions and fundamental ATS® formations

Prerequisite:

Level 1: no previous experience needed, all skill levels welcome.
Level 2: we suggest completing a minimum of one full course (about 4-5 sessions) of Level 1 before starting Level 2.
