“Power Belly Basics”
Start the New Year out with a new exercise program!

COST $28 Weight belt use and coin hip scarfs are included.
What is Power Belly?
A Belly Dance workout that conditions the body, beefs up endurance, conditions the heart aerobically, teaches co ordination, core balancing, body isolations and step transition. It brings about fuller sensory awareness. It’s done to live music most of the time. We use weight belts for maximun results (but it’s not mandatory) .
Know two things:
1. Belly dance is a feminine empowering way to exercise. Our power belly class uses live music. It connects body with community as we dance with a fun group of all age women. A joyful way to exercise!
2. As an art form that manifests as performance it feeds the individual dancers soul with creativity, self expression and empowerment.
This aspect requires study, degrees of athletic endurance (depends on style and goals) , practice and beautiful costumes. We have other classes, performance events and projects you can join for those aspects.
Power Belly
Beginner, Intermediate and Professional
All levels of experience can be members of our Power Belly classes!
All you need first, is an over view of how the body is aligned and what the goals are for this dance form.
This 1 1/2 hour class is aimed at this intent.
Shimmies, flowing body moves and isolations, hip lifts exotic arms, energy alignment
This doesn’t means you have to know how to do everything to be in a Power Belly Class. You will dance next to ladies who have been shimming for years and that works great because shimmies are contageous! Everyone learns more as they keep taking power belly classes that are offered on Tuesday and Thursday nights and if there is interest we sometimes schedule them on weekends.
Mostly women like to come to class after work or school. Also we have Electra Belly on Wednesday nights (similar structure)
We have dancers who have been doing Power Belly since it’s inception over 10 years ago.
That says something for it’s staying power!
