Beginner Bellydance Workshop Description:
A Taste of Bellydance!
People are invited to explore bellydance in this introductory workshop.  
Adults of all ages and shapes enjoy the opportunity to dance freely and move their bodies in new ways.
This workshop focuses on having fun while learning the basic dance movements. Coin-belt hip scarves will be provided to add the element of sound to the dancing.
This is a fairly demanding form of dance with many muscle-groups challenged: arms and shoulders, hips and legs and abdominals.
 A simple dance choreography will be taught, which exercises both balance and cognitive skills.
Bellydance is fun. This workshop promotes laughter and self-expression.
