Beginner Belly Dance
with Seyyide

This class is usually offered at Jose Mateo Ballet Theatre (closed under current situation) on Mondays at 9:00pm and Tuesdays at 7:30pm.
Seyyide will offer this class ONLINE ONLY:
Broadcast from home office on Tuesdays at 7:15pm EST US

Learn the dance women have performed for ages in the Middle East and North Africa, where different parts of the body are moved independently, layered to make a unity. These polycentric movements develop body awareness and coordination. Movements centered on the trunk rather than the limbs (unlike occidental dances) have a wonderful positive effect on the body and mind.

Level 1: For the brand-new student, who’s never taken belly dance or just casually a few classes, or only a long time ago; and to those students with less than 6 months of experience; to learn, to establish and/or to practice the fundamental posture and movements of this dance, including musicality and transitions using basic movements of all categories. You can stay or revisit this level for as long as you wish, and take it as "the barre" of belly dance.
