CLASS DESCRIPTIONS:

Tribal Belly Dance: 
American Tribal Style Belly Dance is a fusion of traditional Middle Eastern Dance and folkloric dance movements from India, Central Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, and Spain.  Performed as a “tribe” using synchronized group improvisation, each group develops its own vocabulary of controlled, earthy, and mesmerizing movements and cues, allowing a “lead and follow” format.  One of the most rewarding aspects of this dance is the camaraderie that develops between dancers from working so closely in an improvisational setting.  Each dancer learns to communicate through body language and is mentally aware of her partners at all times.  To read more about Hipnosis visit www.tribalbellies.com or contact the members of Hipnosis directly at hipnosis@tribalbellies.com.

CLASS POLICIES:

Please arrive with enough time to change in the locker room if necessary and so that you may begin class on time.  If you need to sign up for class, make a payment, or discuss any other business with your teacher, please arrive early to take care of this in the time between classes.  Students will get the most benefit out of class if they attend regularly.

CLASS ATTIRE:

Students should dress in exercise wear so they are comfortable and have full range of movement.  Clothing should be tighter rather than looser to make it easy for your teacher to see your body doing the movements. You do not have to bare your belly if you do not want to.  Please do not wear jeans or other street clothes.  We normally dance in bare feet, but dance slippers or other soft sole shoes may be worn if preferred.  Hip Scarves and Veils will be available for students to use in class.
