Belly Dance Technique: 6-Week Flash Mob Choreography Class

Ever want to try out belly dance but short on time? I will walk you through some basics of American Cabaret style belly dance, how to warm up in less than 15 minutes, traveling steps, hip isolations, chest isolations, shoulder shimmy, combinations, and 2 minutes worth of choreography formed for a large group setting. Troupe Sabba Zimora and Brenda's Belly Dancing has a public venue in which we are training dancers to do a flash shimmy mob.

This course is ideal for those who want to learn seriously but also have fun. The lessons are compact and are designed to last approximately 30 minutes including the warm up. If you have time, I encourage you to repeat the lesson and / or do some stretches to open up the hips. We will be doing a lot of hip work! There are 6 classes covered over an accelerated 6 weeks. I suggest completing the same lesson at least two times within a week. By the end of the course you will be able to perform the choreography, the belly dance step combinations, and belly dance technique.

Feel free to use the combos and put them together in different ways to create your own dance, but please don't copy ours exactly the way it is. Add variations and use different timings to change it up! Let your own inner energy flow.

Note: In this course you will also get downloadable PDF resource guides.

Brenda's Belly Dancing is home of Troupe Sabba Zimora, performers and students of the Arabic dance style Westerners refer to as belly dance (also known as raqs sharqi, danse orientale, Middle Eastern dance.) Sabba Zimora is a combination of Arabic and Hebrew meaning "eastern wind song of praise," appropriate for a group who studies Middle Eastern movement, raises each other's spirits, and promotes healthy living and a positive attitude toward one's self. Join the years of belly dancing students who have studied with me since 2002, who just like you, were either wondering where to begin, what belly dance is all about, and where to find good resources.  Have fun, learn some belly dance moves, and put it all together in the end.

All you need to begin is to be interested in learning the technical side of dance, putting together moves in a fun fitness activity, and learning to appreciate the work that goes into a performance. What are you waiting for? Join Troupe Sabba Zimora's belly dancing community now!
