A special event that combines a head-to-toe intro to belly dancing moves and an introduction to the ancient art form and contemporary practice, followed by a fusion-style of easy-to-follow belly dance fitness set to contemporary and popular music.
Belly dance is an ancient form of movement with roots in a variety of cultures; it is a “dance of integration” that “embraces diversity.” Traditionally belly dancing was not about performing; it was used as a shared form of personal, collective, and cultural expression. It was something practiced among groups of women and passed down from generation to generation. This is the spirit that we embrace as we shake, shimmy, and spiral as a collective in the sacred space of The Spiral Goddess Collective.
Belly dancing offers a way of connecting to ourselves and to each other, and in this spirit, this series is open to children (accompanied by an adult) as a way of connecting across generations. And, while belly dancing has been traditionally practiced by women, all are welcome to attend this joyful practice!
Sliding scale $12, $15, or $18. Children 8 and over with an adult $5. If it’s your first class at the Spiral Goddess Collective, it’s free!
