My regular weekly classes in Columbia, SC, start NEXT WEEK! Both classes are open to ALL LEVELS, and we begin on May 12, 2010.  All levels really means all levels: I challenge those who need to be challenged, and give material to less-experienced dancers so that they can build a strong foundation for safe and life-long movement.

Classes at Joy of Motion: Changes ahead!

  1. Big change number one is that nearly all of the classes there are changing to a drop-in format, which means you’ll no longer have to pay for a semester of classes at time. Drop-in classes are great for students who want to continue their dance education, but whose schedules are too busy to commit to a weekly class.
  2. Big change number two is that I will now be teaching “Skills and Technique” for all styles of belly dance. This class is aimed to refine students’ technique; build strength, stamina, and flexibility; and expand students’ movement vocabulary through drills.
  3. Big change number three is that my classes at Joy of Motion Atlas are moving from Monday nights to Tuesday nights, from 7:30pm – 8:30pm. This gives you plenty of time to get to arrive on time and ready to move!

So, to sum up: Tuesday nights, drop-in class, 7:30pm-8:30pm, Skills and Technique. Joy of Motion Atlas, 1333 H St NE, Washington, DC. Bring water and a yoga mat.
