F.A.Q
What should I wear?
Bellydance is an active and muscular dance and a great form of exercise. It is important to be dressed appropriately.
- Wear something fitted and stretchy or loose and comfortable, similar to gym attire. We want YOU to be comfortable in class.
- There are no set rules to revealing or hiding your belly for adult classes.
- Bare feet or jiffy type slippers.
- You can wear a hip scarf or coin belt for accenting hip movements if you so desire.
- Please NO jeans, school uniforms, non stretch pants, and tight skirts. They are too restrictive.
What should I bring?
- Water bottle
- Pen and notebook
- Zills (finger cymbal) for Intermediate classes
- A veil (big scarf) is optional for adult classes as we may use one for warm up from time to time.
- A dance bag is ideal, this way items won’t be forgotten for class.
