Students should wear comfortable pants such as yoga pants and close-fitting shirts so that they can see their movements on their bodies. You may be barefoot or wear dance shoes. I recommend Hermes Sandals.

Intermediate students should bring a yoga mat and towel to kneel on while we are stretching out.

I can't wait to dance with you! ~Kaia

Beginner Tribal Belly Dance
10:30am-11:30am Sundays
Learn the beautiful and empowering art of Belly Dance. This class will focus on the basic moves intrinsic to all forms of belly dance as well as the posture and theory behind Tribal Fusion and Improvisation. Belly dance builds body awareness and control, is a great exercise and a wonderful way to connect with ourselves as well as other women.

Tribal Improvisation focuses on the interaction between a group of women dancing together as a whole. This class will also touch on moves and cues to lead and follow each other as well as delve into the snakey and locky poppy movies of Tribal Fusion. This class will also be a great drills class for a more intermediate student.

Intermediate/Advanced Tribal Improv Belly Dance
11:45am-12:45pm Sundays
This class is designed for my previous students and any student who has had a year or more of any form of Belly Dance training. Students should be familiar with basic moves of belly dance and ready for a work out. This class will focus on learning moves and cues for Improvisation and dancers will start to learn line and group formations, transitions, how to lead, and performance technique. We Will learn fast lock and pop combinations as well as ultra slow snakey moves. Handouts will be given for the dancers to notate each move learned and dance journals are encouraged.
