LEVEL 2 & 3 -- Technique and Combination Choreography -- Friday 7:30-8:30 pm


Technique and Combination Choreography for Belly Dance Level 2 & 3. This class is designed to improve and refine technique and string movement into combinations which can be used in choreography and independently. Moving at a faster pace, we will be focusing on a Turkish flair, to give power and pizazz to your dance. This is not entirely a Turkish class, and is perfect for anyone who wants a dynamic stage presence or challenging strong movement. This class is a requirement for performers and Sultana company members.

Although zills are NOT required, I will be using them for part of class. It is student preference to play, so please bring them if you like.
