Technique may be incorporated into choreography or used in improvisation/follow the leader exercises. This term the focus will be on fast techniques. Focusing on technique and skills used in dancing the Babylonia Tribal Format to both fast and slow tempos.
Belly dance, or raqs sharqi, has been claimed to be one of the oldest forms of dance, having roots in all ancient cultures from the orient to India to the mid-East. Probably the greatest misconception about belly dancing is that it is intended to entertain men. Belly dancing is natural to a woman's bone and muscle structure with movements emanating from the torso rather than in the legs and feet.

I started off at Belly Dance Amethyst thanks to an online voucher which allowed me to tick off belly dancing on my dreamboard. My coordination has been improving, my wrist injury recovered faster thanks to a couple of moves, and learning new steps and moves for a choreography has been a wonderful challenge for my brain. It's now my third term there and it's great fun. One of the things that impressed me most is how women of all ages and levels of fitness get together to have fun, keep fit, embrace their bodies and celebrate being a woman. The variety of dance styles offered is another impressive

A fantastic place to learn the art of belly dance. Everyone is friendly and makes you feel welcome. It starts to feel like you are part of a family rather than just a number in a class full of people. Whether you are new to belly dance or an experienced dancer I would highly recommend Belly Dance Amethyst to anyone who loves to dance.
