Belly Beginnings I
This class offers an introduction to American Cabaret and Turkish oriental bellydance. Focusing on isolations, basic steps, posture, finger cymbals and development of personal style Belly Beginnings caters to those who have never taken a bellydance class before.Cost of the 7-week session is $75. Drop-in classes are available for $14.

Belly Beginnings II
This class will get you moving! We will build on the fundamentals covered in Belly Beginnings level 1 by introducing layering of isolations, steps and finger cymbal patterns. We will focus on perfecting technique and develop combos to get you dancing. Belly Beginnings level 2 is dependant on technique developed in Belly Beginnings level 1 or equivalent dance experience (about 1 year of bellydance). Cost of the 7 week session is $90 which includes live music every other week. Drop-ins are welcome for $15.

Bellydance Specialization (Level III)
This class is another 8 week session that revolves around varying topics. Here we will begin class with a solid warm-up that may include finger cymbals, Pilates, dance steps, shimmies, or some other aerobic activity in any combination. We will then spend the rest of our time working with some specialized technique. Some topics that I am considering for this session are: Shimmies, opening up to expression or Finger Cymbals and rhythms. You can let me know what you want to do (and let me know if you have any other suggestions), majority wins! We will also have the opportunity to dance to live music every other week! You must feel comfortable with material covered in Belly Beginnings levels 1 and 2 before taking this class or be enrolled in both level 2 and 3.

Bellydance Performance (Level IV)
In this class we will develop skills as solo performers as well as group choreography. We will also work on costuming ideas and construction, make-up, expression, stage presence and working out the kinks of stage fright! Performances may arise during the course of the session or may be scheduled in advance. Completion and confidence in bellydance levels 1-3 are required. Please contact Ruby for more information if you are interested in taking this class. Locations and times are variable.

Private Instruction Private lessons are available throughout the week for fine tuning technique and learning new material. Lessons can be taken solo for $25/hr or duet for $35/hr. You can use this time to work on what ever YOU want. We can develop your own choreography or improvisational performance style or work on perfecting technique and isolations to take your dancing to the next level.
