April/May session
I know spring/summer schedules can be irregular with sporting events and vacations. This can make it difficult to commit to 6 consecutive weeks. Because I am dedicated to continuing classes through the summer and being available when you are – I will continue to offer classes in the current time slots. You can choose to come either on Monday OR Wednesday. If you miss a week – make up the class by coming twice in a subsequent week (or an earlier week). Pay in advance 6 visits $65.
Classes are currently being held in my home studio. Email me or Phone for the address. bellydance.essex@gmail.com or (519)776-5537
Beginners (Easy Choreography) – 6:30-7:45 pm.
Beyond Beginners (Challenge Choreography/Improvisation) – 8:00-9:15 pm.
Classes start this week Monday April 20, Wednesday April 22. Don’t worry – it’s not too late to make this session. You can make up a missed class(es) by speaking with me.
IF my current schedule doesn’t work for you… email me or phone. I am happy to work with your schedule.

(Victoria Day – Monday May 18 – no scheduled class)

Children 5:30-6:15, This is my children’s class – Parents are welcome to attend and are encouraged to participate in the lesson. Emphasis is on walking steps, arm movements and veil!

Improvisation/Props 7:45-9:00- Intended for those with some knowledge of bellydance. Use of props, balance, veil, poi. Construct your own combinations. Students are encouraged to learn Improvisational skills. (Do your own thing & do it well!)
Wednesday –
Teen or a Private lesson class 5:30-6:25, This time slot is available. Currently unscheduled I am happy to book as requested.
Beginners 6:30-7:40, Adult class (15 & over) Learn basic fundamental movements and interesting combinations. Now with Easy Choreography. This class is available on its own OR take both Monday and Wednesday at a reduced rate.
Beyond Basics Choreography 7:45-9:00 This course is open to students with a basic understanding of bellydance moves and terminology. We will focus on learning a choreography to a specific piece of music. Advanced movements.
Other changes….
I am thinking about moving to a class card system for my adult classes that would allow people to make up classes on other nights. The difficulty with this idea would be that I would need to have a minimum enrollment to ensure that I can stay open both nights. Same pricing 6 class card =$65(Advance payment), 12 class card =$110 but I would need to maintain an expiration date on the cards – good for one session only.
The Beginner classes will be changing to a choreography format. Some of you have been telling me you are ready for choreography but are not yet comfortable with your technique. So if you aren’t ready to move to the Beyond Basics class or you just want to learn some of the previous choreography I will be modifying my “Beyond” choreographies and teaching them to the Beginner classes.
Please let me know your thoughts. I want to run the classes that best suit YOUR needs. –
