In this six-week session students will learn to dance with the veil, one of the most sensual aspects of bellydance. This class will introduce students to the art of the veil and basic vocabulary and technique of bellydance will be covered with focus on undulations and belly rolls. We will learn veil choreography. Veils will be provided for the class. No previous experience necessary. Great class for expecting moms. As well as for all women, who are looking to add some exoticism and a fun workout to their lives. This timeless dance form puts us in direct communicating with our forgotten feminine self, empowers us and strengthens and tones our bodies. In Safiya’s classes you will learn the core movements and traditional rhythms, train your ear to hear the music, get strong and discover your inner goddess! Finger cymbals and veils are used. The style is traditional, both Turkish and Arabic, what Safiya calls “good, old-fashioned bellydance” with emphasis on clean technique, musicality and self-expression.
