Beginner Belly Dancing

 
      Tamara’s beginner class focuses on grasping a strong understanding of basic technique. Becoming familiar and comfortable with your body and learning how to control each movement is an essential aspect of this class. You will also be exposed to an array of classical and modern (yes, even Shakira!) Belly Dance music, terminology, and moves. You will also be introduced to basic use of finger cymbals, veil and fun choreographies. Tamara contributes to each individual’s progress through personal attention and positive critiquing. This class has a fun and friendly atmosphere and is open to everyone regardless of age or fitness level.  
 

Intermediate Belly Dancing

  
      Tamara’s intermediate class focuses on isolations and “layering”, or using more than one movement simultaneously. She encourages everyone in this level to find their individual “style” and nourishes their development. There is also a continuing emphasis on mastering the use of finger cymbals and veil. This class is fast paced and designed for individuals with knowledge of the basic Belly Dance movements. It is by invitation only.
