Danceable Combinations ~ Intermediate Bellydance Series

This course is tailored to the advanced beginner and intermediate student. At around twenty minutes in length, these classes fit neatly into your day. We start with a dance focused warm up, then move right into a breakdown of the technique used in the combination. The combination is then taught step-by-step. Finally we drill the combination, often at slower temp and then full-speed. To work on musicality, most combinations are drilled to common bellydance rhythm such as Saidi, Maqsoum, and Chiftitelli. Foundational traveling steps are introduced, such as the Basic Egyptian, Twist Step, Comptons, and the Samia step. Every class teaches a full combination which will add movements, transitions, and pathways to the dancer’s repertoire so that as a by-product, she will be able to better access a fuller range of movements, in respect to musicality, when it’s time to dance.
