Oriental Dance Classes
regular group classes
Class Levels
Beginner / Fundamentals
In beginners level, we’ll look at the basic core movements and isolations of Oriental dance. We’ll touch on the concept of folk styles and try out some simple combinations. No dance experience needed!
Fundamentals class will overlap with Open level for the last 30 mins of class.
Open
In Open level we’ll look at more complex travelling combinations and layering of core movements. We’ll look further into folk styles, rhythms and props to start really building your knowledge and repertoire.
This class accommodates for different levels of experience and is tailored to the students enrolled.

Private lessons are a great way to speed up your progress or get really detailed one-on-one tuition that is tailored to your level and goals. Private lessons don’t have to be just one-on-one, you can bring a friend and split the cost if you like. Private lessons are subject to availability. Please contact me for availability and pricing details.
