EveryBODY Belly Dance

*Space is limited, advanced registration is required for this workshop.

Join us for an introduction to Belly Dance workshop!

This workshop is for everyBODY!

The “belly” of the dance is connecting your mind with your body and connecting with other dancers. No matter your age, size, skills, or abilities, all participants are invited to explore basic belly dance techniques. There will be a focus on posture and mind-body connection. You will start to discover how amazing your body is and how beautifully this timeless art form presents in you.

This 90 minute workshop will encourage making choices for what works best for your body, and also stretching the limits of what you are capable of. The more modern term for Belly Dance is Raqs Sharki - and we are going to Raq it! This class is suited for feminine identifying people of all shapes and abilities. This is a trauma informed, inclusive, and body-positive space.
