Welcome to our classes! We are pleased to be part of your life, and even more pleased you've chosen to explore the wonderful world of belly dance.

To get started, please arrive to class five or ten minutes early. We will ask you to fill out a basic student information form so we know how to reach you and so we'll know a little bit about you.

Please wear dance pants, yoga pants or other comfortable, moveable pants or capris. Shorts are OK, but sometimes we get on our knees and our floors have hard surfaces, so you may want to protect the skin on your legs a little.
As for tops ‹ please wear something that will let us see your midriff movements. You don't need to bare your belly, but if you want to, that is certainly OK. You can wear a close-fitting tank or t-shirt that is comfortable to move in, but please no large, baggy t-shirts. We will need to see what your abdominal muscles are doing in order to make sure you are performing the movements correctly and so that you avoid injury.
You can dance in bare feet; in fact that is preferred, but if you'd like to protect your feet with an inexpensive pair of ballet slippers or other dance shoes, that is OK, too. Just be sure they are comfortable and fit you well enough not to cause blisters or other pain.

Our studio has water available for purchase, though it is a good idea to bring your own bottle of water or power drink. You may also want to bring a towel in case you get sweaty, and a notebook in case you want to make notes after class. We typically don't have time during class to stop for note-taking, but you can jot things down afterward. You can bring a yoga mat for floor exercises if you like, but it is not necessary.

Contact Brittney, 837-9439 or Karen, 576-1170 if you have questions, and above all BE PREPARED TO HAVE FUN! WE'LL SEE YOU THERE!
