Signing up:
Our space is very limited. Though we have not had a problem with it up to this point, it is suggested that you reserve your spot in class by pre-registering.
You are welcome to show up and take a chance but those who pre-register get first dibs.

Pre-register: To secure your spot in class, you must
1. Have a class package or pre-pay the drop-in fee.
2. RSVP via email/phone/text at least by the Friday before class that you are coming. You may reserve your spot up to 1 month in advance.
3. If you pre-register for a class and you are not going to make it after all, please let Linda know by the Saturday before class so we can open up your spot to someone else.

Prerequisites/class description:
These classes will take you through basic rhythms and pair them with dance steps in a patient, methodical way. They are designed to be added to your current belly dance class schedule.

Dancers of all levels and styles have a place within the classes. Beginner dancers focus on getting the dance moves on time and making sure their finger cymbal patters are accurate. More advanced dancers are encouraged to do these things as well as work on their stage presence, posture, layering, technique, etc. Though you are in a group, you will receive a lot of individual attention.

Zill Drill classes are geared towards dancers with little or no experience using finger cymbals; and that attend at least beginner level classes/troupes.

Dancers should at least know how to shimmy, use the basic Egyptian walk, un-weighted hip lifts and drops, basic big hip circles, ummies, and snake arms. You don’t have to be great at them, you just need to be familiar with them. Generally these students have been taking weekly classes for at least 6 months.

Do you want to make your bridal/baby shower, bachelorette party, or other all-Female event unforgettable?

Get the girls together and have a Harem Belly Dance Party as part of your special event!

Linda will bring jingling hip scarves and fun music to use while you and your friends learn to feel beautiful and experience the joy of Belly Dance.

Learn basic belly dance moves to use at the dance club, wow your hubby, or just feel good for you! Lessons are easy to follow and fun for any age, shape, or size.

*Belly Dance has been performed at bridal showers, weddings, and birthing rituals for thousands of years. It is believed to help bring good luck and health to families during their special occassions and even ease the birthing process.

*The Harem
Harem: derived from an Arabic word usually translated as prohibited, set apart, forbidden, or secluded.
Though sometimes associated with other things, the Harem of a house in most Muslim cultures has historically been the area designated for women of the house to protect their privacy by keeping unrelated men OUT. Although women could go anywhere they wished in the house, only family members and sometimes female guests were alowed in the Harem. Harems and Belly Dance predate Islam and very few cultures still have Harems in this way. But it is thought that Belly Dance has been preserved and refined because women were free to dance, sing, joke, and be themselves in the privacy of their Harems. This is also the area of the house where many a marriage was arranged and children were brought up/educated.
