​
Belly dance is a fun and enjoyable way to keep fit with its roots and history buried deep in the past.
​
**CLASS UPDATE - 2023**
Currently our Romford Class is running on a monthly pre-paid sign-up, rather than the previous six or twelve week courses. The choreographies will still be taught over twelve weeks consecutively, therefore if students wish to complete the full course, three months will be necessary. However, due to Covid uncertainties, it would not be fair to take the full course payment in advance. If there are any changes in restrictions, and lockdown is reinforced, the choreography will be completed online. If this is not suitable for any students, any remaining class payment will be carried forward to when physical classes can resume.

Course Description: The course is ideal for both beginners and those with some previous bellydance experience. The classes will have a highly enjoyable atmosphere and enable all students to enjoy learning a variety of moves and combinations whilst getting fit and toned in a friendly and supportive environment.
​
Belly Dance Technique & Combinations:
There is nothing more empowering than feeling fit and healthy and having strength and flexibility in your body. Our new Technique Drills for the Spring Term are designed to give your body a deep and stimulating workout that will help tone your body. Each drill will begin with a detailed breakdown of the technique and movements used.
The Technique Drills will cover a wide range of basic belly dance movements and isolations making it ideal for any beginner. It can also be used as a technique refresher for the more experienced dancer to help sharpen and improve isolations and deepen flexibility. The workout will vary in pace and the repetition makes it easy to follow.
The drills are done to wonderful uplifting music that makes it extremely enjoyable to learn. Not only will you learn new movements, isolations and combinations but you will also be working on strength and endurance too. Get ready to expand your dance moves vocabulary, and dance it out whilst having a whole lot of fun!
New Dance Choreography:
We will also work towards learning a brand new choreography as the week’s progress. Each week you will learn to master the new movements used in the dance. The moves will be explained in detail and are then knit together into combinations. These combinations eventually come together to form the full choreography. There is plenty of repetition of the movements adding a little more each time. Printouts for the choreography will also be available to help you along the way.
​
Bellydance is such a great way to stay fit, well, healthy and happy! You will begin to notice many improvements in both your physical and mental well-being within weeks!
By the end of the course not only will you feel healthier and fitter but you will also have learned so much too! Come and join us and dance yourself happy and healthy and ready for the Summer!
