Start your new years (or new school year) resolutions early by registering for belly dance classes this fall.  Each month, we explore different topics in the beginner belly dance class.  

This fall we are working on combinations, choreography and the fundamentals of zil work in the beginner class.  This is a great way to get a 'hip start' on various dance steps and movements in a fun and supportive environment.

For intermediate level dancers we are working our way through traditional belly dance routines (entrance to finale, tabla solos to taqsims) as well as identifying key musical instruments and dance rhythms.  We will also work on the structure of solos to help students learn how to create depth and dynamics to their performance and learn skills relating to improvisation and choreography.  This is a wonderful chance to really challenge yourself as a dancer.

Classes  include a 30 minute drill/warm-up, a 15 minute stretch and 45 minutes of technique, combinations or choreography (depending upon the topic).  Register now, and you can attend the next available Sunday class!

**Please note that Tarrytown Dance is moving to a new and larger space in October!  The new location is just across the street (in the old pharmacy location) and we're excited to try out the new digs.  The proposed moving date is October 2-3, but plans are not final so keep that in mind if you're heading off to class for the first time.**
