SUMMER SEMESTER 2026:
The focus for this semester is to develop a strong Belly Dance foundations, as well as to work with the Belly Dance veil, at a beginner level. The class will also explore the elements that comprise a solo Belly Dance show (don’t worry, you will not be asked to perform!!!) We will have, at a minimum, an entrance segment, a veil dance, traditional and Arabic pop pieces, a folkloric dance, a drum solo and an exit piece. These are all stand alone dances that can also be combined into a mini “show” if you so desire. If you are new to Belly Dance, please don’t worry. All of this is done at a beginner level, but you will be amazed at how much you can learn! And you will learn a lot. Gina’s specialty is teaching a lot of material in an easily accessible way. You will leave with A MINIMUM of 6 choreographies under your “hip belt”!

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.
