SPRING SEMESTER 2025:
The theme for this spring is Egyptian Dance, and it is really going to “cover some territory”! We’ll go from north to south geographically, spanning dance from the mid-20th century through today’s dance styles. This semester will have a couple of classical styles, as well as folk styles and street dance. It promises to be super interesting for both new and returning students. During this 12-week semester we will nail down the fundamentals of Beginner Belly Dance while also taking a deep dive into Egypt, in specific. Using both fast and slow pieces (OK – definitely more fast pieces than slow 🙂 ), pop tunes and traditional songs, we will complete at least 7 short choreographies. You will leave the semester knowing how to Belly Dance, and with performance pieces “under your hip belt.”
WEEKLY CLASS VIDEOS:
During the Beginner Belly Dance semester, one class per week will be recorded and made available to class participants on a
weekly basis. They will be available to you as long as you are enrolled in Beginner Belly Dance with Gina.

WHY DO ZOOM (OR IN PERSON) CLASSES AND NOT YOUTUBE OR SOMEONE ELSE?
Gina is constantly interacting with and giving feedback and encouragement to dancers. On Zoom, Gina does not teach to the camera. Gina teaches to the individual students who she is watching on her big screen monitor to give specific personal feedback on feet, weight placement, direction, arms, etc.
FAQs:
See FAQ’s page regarding foul weather, make-up classes and other issues.
WHAT TO BRING/WEAR:
