Belly Dance Fusion Workshops

 

Bellly Dance Fusion w/ Master Teacher Joette Sawall

"Belly Dance” (aka Middle Eastern Dance) is a gentle, low-impact form of movement based on individual interpretation and stylization. The movements often follow the lines of a woman's body and are accompanied by exotic rhythms and melodies. Belly dance improves flexibility, coordination and body awareness, and is a great workout for arms, shoulders, abs, and legs. Join Joette in these unique workshops that will combine the healing properties of an exquisitely feminine dance with various forms of movement (including but not limited to yoga). No dance experience required but introductory exposure to yoga may be helpful. Dress comfortably and feel free to bring a hip wrap (some will be available to borrow or purchase).
