In this class, we’ll dive into one of the signature aspects of bellydance: circular movements. You’ll learn how to create smooth, controlled rombs (diamond shapes) and circles using the hips and chest, head and shoulders. These movements help you develop fluidity and grace, which are essential for this style.

Lesson 7: Steps and Turns
Here, we’ll integrate footwork and turns into your dancing. This class focuses on the importance of steps and directional changes, including simple traveling steps and spins. You will learn to combine your upper body isolations and fluidity with strong, grounded footwork to create dynamic movement across the stage.
