Learn the core moves of Egyptian Bellydance, and put it together with a fun choreography to Egyptian pop.
We will learn:
Correct posture and alignment.
Hip movements (figures of eight/mayas (vertical and horizontal), circles and omis, different types of shimmies, drops and accents, locks, twists etc)
Undulations and belly accents.
Arm and hand positions, paths and movements.
Common turns and stepping patterns used in bellydance e.g. pas de bourre.
No belly dance experience required, if you are an improver you can refine and "troubleshoot" your base technique here to improve your movement quality.
Variations will be offered in class depending on your level.
There is also the opportunity to perform the choreography in the group at an end-of-term show (£10 ticket fee)!
All classes are streamed and recorded on zoom so you can catch up if you miss a class. Homework with 1-2-1 feedback on WhatsApp included (optional)

Funky Mambo presents Salsa On2sdays - SALSA CLASSES & PARTY
Designed for quiet, shy, self-conscious and introverted people.
In this introductory evening, you will be discovering the keys to authentic confidence based on author and self-confidence specialist, Claire Schrader's experiences of being a shy introvert, and what really worked in getting her out of her shell so she could achieve things in her personal and professional life she never would have thought possible.
You will meet Claire in person and experience a series of confidence exercises that you will be able to put into practice in your everyday life.
Claire creates an informal, relaxed, non-judgmental atmosphere that will quickly put you at your ease, and free you of the internal pressures that normally inhibit you from expressing yourself.
It's a very safe place for you to gently stretch out of your comfort zone with people who feel in the same boat as you.
