Class Descriptions:

Beginners Bellydance is for those who either have never taken a bellydance class before, or still need some practice mastering the basic bellydance movements. This is a slow paced class, perfect for those with no previous dance experience.

Bellydance for Performance is a class for advanced dancers, who are either currently performing, or hoping to perform in the near future. We will work on everything from proper costuming, from headbands to dance shoes, hair and make-up tips for the stage, general stage presence and professionalism at gigs, and how to draw in your audience. Feedback is given at every class. This class is the only one like it in all of Rhode Island! Class size is limited to 6 students, so that each student can get sufficient individual attention.

Bellydance Troupe is a choreography-based class, for those who enjoy dancing in a group. This class is for intermediate-level bellydancers who have a good understanding of basic bellydance vocabulary. For those who wish to participate in this class, it is strongly advised that you also take another class at WDMC in addition to the troupe class.
We ask that you try your best to attend each class as we'll be working on choreography, and in order not to hold up the classes progress, each student must attend. Private lessons are available if you need to miss a class.

Beyond Beginners Bellydance is a class for those who have mastered the basic movements, and need more of a challenge. We will use veils and zills in this class- which are available for purchase at the studio. This is a faster paced class.

Introduction to Props will teach you how to properly play the finger cymbals (or zills), cane (raqs assaya) and veil. All of these props can be purchased at the studio boutique before class.  This class is for students who have completed at least one session of our beginners bellydance class.

Pilates demonstrates that our body can achieve fitness all on its own without any equipment. Using only your own body weight and gravity, the matwork will tone, strengthen and lengthen your entire body with primary focus on the core- the abdominals, lower back, hips, and buttocks, to gain strength and support to maintain good posture and release tension. While strengthening, Pilates also concentrates on breathing, relaxation and flexibility.
* Please bring your own mat to class.


What to wear:
Leggings or dance pants, a crop-top or form fitting t-shirt, dance shoes are best, but bare-feet or socks are fine too.
Hip scarves, bellydance cd's, veils, and finger cymbals are available at the World Dance Wear boutique.

Private classes and professional coaching are available, and are suggested for students who wish to make faster progress than is possible in a class, or for those who need extra help in a specific area. The rate for private lessons and coaching is $50 an hour.
