We’ll enjoy a simple, folkloric, follow-along stick dance. Feel free to bring pretzel sticks, carrot sticks, and, bread sticks to dip in baba ghanoush for after class. Who knows, we may even enjoy a performer show us a stick dance?! (surprises abound). **Bring a dowel cut to belly button height, a belly dance stick, or a staff/cane. Or you can buy one at the studio. We have a few to loan but not enough for everyone.

Nothing says summer like drumming. Bring a hand drum if you have one and we’ll learn key belly dance rhythms and associated dance combos in a kinesthetic way -by doing! We have drums to borrow.

Let’s enjoy a loose, flowy, summer veil study that channels the setting of the sun over your favorite beach. We have veils to borrow or purchase.

Prepare yourself for the fun of hearing an Armenian band at a picnic, restaurant, or show. You’ll need line a few line dances in your body and, special guest teachers, Kanina and Reina will teach them to you.

Let’s explore the elements of boom, pop, and sparkle including costume making!

1.Bring any class wear or costume that you have created, altered, or problem-solved.

2.Bring an item to balance on your head, such as a tray, sword, basket, or jug. (We have a few loaners if you don’t have one.)

Aqua belly dance is a great way to workout and bring  liquidity to certain movements we enjoy. You can take this class in or out of the pool but in

is more fun! (This final class is held at Penny’s pool in Assonet).
