6.30-7.30pm: Intermediate Belly Dance (Drop-In) Starts September 10
I am so happy and excited to have received the opportunity to take dance to the next level with Bellyqueen. Kaeshi Chai is an absolutely incredible teacher and a beautiful person inside and out. She is a knowledgeable and extensively experienced dancer and instructor, that is not afraid to teach at the top of her students’ learning level. Her approach challenges her students to help them grow as dancers, while at the same time leading with kindness, understanding and humor. She is a humble, approachable and caring person. Kaeshi Chai is truly an expert, and her students are incredibly blessed to have the opportunity to learn from her. I highly recommend Bellyqueen, especially to those that want to challenge themselves and grow, and I strongly recommend Kaeshi Chai as the person to learn from. – Corie Sue Cook
Description
Intermediate Belly Dance: Connect to your breath, awaken your body, and deepen your dance practice. Begin with a thorough warm-up before moving into intermediate-level isolations, layered shimmy drills, and exercises designed to lengthen your lines and refine your technique.
Travel across the floor with dynamic combinations, explore musicality and transitions, learn a fun choreography phrase, and build confidence through guided improvisation. This class balances strong technique with creativity, expression, and the joy of movement.
