Class Format
Each class will include drilling of new moves, practicing combinations of moves and improvisational dancing. Playing finger cymbals (zills) will also be included starting with the 3rd class of each session. (Zills will be available in class for rental or purchase.)
Level One includes the following movements:
- Shimmy
- Arabic Step
- Basic Egyptian
- Pivot Bump and Choo Choo
- Floreo
- Taxeem
- Arm Undulations
- Body Wave
- Torso Twist
- Circle Step
Posture, zilling, dance formations, leading and following, and cues will also be included in Level One.
What to wear? Come to class in something comfortable that you can move around in, such as yoga pants and a tank top. Bring a water bottle, too - we will work up a sweat! Once you've been dancing for awhile, you might like to wear a full skirt and choli. Check the Resources section (on the right) for costuming links.
