Belly Dance Classes (Raqs Sharqi)

Welcome to Dance with Kirsten, classes designed to introduce students to the joyful world of belly dance (also known as Raqs Sharqi or Dans Oryantal - Dance of the East).

Classes emphasize the joy of dance in a safe, supportive environment.

Dress in comfortable clothes, soft dance shoes, socks or bare feet are recommended, and shimmy belts will be available for students during the classes. No street shoes allowed in the dance studio.

 

 

MIXED LEVEL BELLY DANCE CLASS

Classes are offered in monthly sessions on Monday evenings 6:30 to 7:30 pm  at the Elks Performing Arts Center on Gurley Street, Prescott. 

This is an ongoing class where we work on refining our technique to create strong, fluid hip movements, graceful arms, layering and footwork. Anyone who is familiar with the basics of any belly dance style is welcome.  

Classes will resume on July 7th.

Do you need more than one hour of dance class a week? Stay for an extra hour of belly dance fun!  This practice session is right after class and designed as a creative hour to work on both group and individual choreography as well as practice with props. 

Classes will resume in August.

Traditional Dances of the Eastern Mediterranean

Not currently being offered. If you are interested in learning these dances, please contact me. 

Join me on a journey through the heart of the Eastern Mediterranean and Anatolia, where vibrant and diverse dances will come to life. In this class, you will be introduced to Levantine, Greek, Balkan and Turkish line dances as well as basics of Turkish Romani (gypsy) and traditional Egyptian folk dances. We will dive into the music, rhythms, and meanings of the dances. Each class will build upon the last and there will be lots of review and practice. All levels of dancers are welcome. Wear comfortable shoes and come ready to dance and more importantly, to have fun.  This class is for all levels.
