Level 1/2

Build a strong foundation in bellydance technique while developing strength, confidence, and musicality. This class is based on the Salimpour format and is ideal for beginners as well as intermediate dancers looking to refine their skills and deepen their understanding of movement.

Each class begins with a strength and conditioning warm-up designed to improve stamina, posture, and body awareness. Using the Salimpour approach to movement, we break down steps to their core mechanics, drill them for precision and muscle memory, and finish by applying what we've learned in a dance combination. Students will develop a strong technical vocabulary rooted in the Salimpour format while learning how movements connect, layer, and flow within choreography.
