What can I expect at a belly dance class with Jewels of the East?

The regular classes are open level and tailored to you!

For your first class arrive 5-10 mins early so that you can fill in your 'fitness to dance' questionaire and discuss any particular requirements that you may have.

The class starts with a gentle warm up using bellydance moves and techniques.

We then up the pace to raise your heart rate using footwork, shimmies and percussive moves.

After a stretch out we concentrate on technique which we then use in the class choreography.

Each week we add to the choreography then have a cool down and stretch.

What do we do with the Choreographies?

We perform!

Each term we get together at different venues with teachers and classes from accross the region and perform for each other!

Its a great way to feel part of a belly dance community, to see other styles of bellydance and to have fun!

What Should I Wear to the Class

Something that you can move in - for example leggings/jogging bottoms/flowing skirt and a vest t-shirt.

It is best to wear a t-shirt that allows me to see your body movement.

Please try to avoid wearing jeans.

We generally dance bare foot but ballet shoes are ideal if you prefer.
