BellyLessons I

This class is geared towards beginner students who want to explore Bellydancing! This class is perfect for the student who has never taken a bellydance class before and also for the student with 'some' experience (via classes or a DVD) who wishes to revisit the core set of basics skills. This class will be taught in levels, so the beginner will learn and the not-so-beginner will be challenged. This course will introduce the beginner to the foundation steps, posture, and isolations. Lotus Niraja has developed an ongoing lesson plan which allows each session to have a different spin.  We will focus on proper posture, muscle memory and body conditioning, techniques, and standard isolation training.

Lotus Niraja is only teaching private and semi-private lessons at this time. For class sessions for small groups, please email.
