Level 1 Raqs Sharqi
with Ally

Raqs Sharqi is Arabic for Oriental Dance (commonly known as Belly Dance) and covers American Cabaret, Classical Egyptian, Egyptian Pop, and some folkloric Middle Eastern stylings of dance. This class goes a step beyond an Intro Class by focusing more on stylization, Middle Eastern Rhythms and cultural context, combos, and choreographies. Beginners are welcome in this class, but it does move faster than an Intro level class. We recommend taking Level 1 Raqs Sharqi for at least 6 months before registering for Level 2.
