Currently, Dancing Ember Studio offers three levels of traditional style bellydance: beginner, beyond beginner and advanced bellydance. Beginner and Beyond Beginner are taught by
Phoenix Avathar, and Advanced is taught by Boston dancer, Sabrina Tarulli
Beginner Bellydance Classes
Beginner bellydance classes are for the dance student who has never bellydanced before - or who simply wants a refresher on the very basic
concepts of bellydance. This class is a 6 week session and includes a variety of simple bellydance movements, including shapes (circles,
figure 8's, etc), undulations, and shimmies. We will drill these simple moves and combine them into very simple and fun combinations
This class is offered twice/week - Monday and Thursday evenings. Both nights will consist of identical information.
Beyond Beginner Bellydance Classes
Beyond Beginner Bellydance classes take the simple moves from the beginner classes and turn them into choreography that can be used in student showcases and haflas.
We will also do technique drills to be sure that bellydance technique doesn't get sloppy :-)! Each beyond beginner session will be different from the one before it,
and will consist of different choreographies. This class will also include use of props (veil, zills, sword, etc). A student may stay in this class as long as they are comfortable.
This class is offered twice/week - Monday and Thursday evenings. Both of these nights differ from each other and therefore are not interchangeable.
Advanced Bellydance Classes with Sabrina Tarulli
Advanced Bellydance classes are for students who are comfortable with simple technique and would like to hone their bellydance skills.
Sabrina takes us through a wonderful warm up of drills and stretches and progresses into creative combinations and snip-its of choreography.
She will include zills, veil work, floor work, etc.
This class is offered once/week - Saturday mornings.
