In my perfect world, every week would end with a wedding reception, where I could practice my belly dance moves next to an open bar. If you are like me and you dream of shimmying and sliding across the stage, but haven’t found a class that easily breaks down the basics of belly dance, have I got an option for you! Saffron’s Crash Course will see students learn a new movement each week, building on and incorporating elements from the prior weeks in this four-week course. Particular focus is given to developing correct posture alignment, flexibility, arm positions and paths, fundamental shimmies, basic hip accents, introductory undulations, easy-to-follow traveling steps and combinations.
The best part? No prior dance experience is necessary!
On Thursday, Sept. 18 and Thursday, Sept. 25 at 7:30 pm, Saffron Dance will offer two free teaser classes at the Capitol Hill Arts Workshop (545 7th St SE). The belly dance crash course begins Thursday, Oct. 2, at 7:30 pm at CHAW.
