SUMMER SEMESTER 2024:
It’s time for Summer! This summer our theme is “Props and Drama”, great for both new and returning students. During this 12-week semester we will work on the building blocks of Beginner Belly Dance as well as some specialties that will bring out the dramatic dancer in you. The most important elements this summer will be the use of the Belly Dance veil and the Cane. Veil use creates a graceful yet mysterious energy while the Cane is hoppy and energetic. They could not be more different! Beyond this we’ll do Persian Bandari (super joyful and active), as well as a Bollywood Fusion piece. Every one of these styles is super energetic! With both fast and slow pieces, pop tunes and traditional songs, we will complete at least 7 short choreographies.
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:
