Bankstown Studio

Beyond Beginners Bellydance: Musical Interpretation and Performance Skills

If you’ve seen Laura perform, you know she absolutely lights up the stage. In this course she’ll share some of that magic! Develop your understanding of Arabic music and how to translate it into movement - both in planned combinations, and on-the-fly. Learn how to connect more deeply with an audience, through direct interaction as well as attitude, eye contact and more.

We will also be revising and improving Nubian and Silk Veil routines from terms 2-3, applying your stagecraft skills in preparation to perform at Ladies Lounge Sunday afternoon 23 November.

EXPERIENCE LEVEL: Minimum 1 year. This class is not suitable for beginners. You’re expected to be familiar and confident with all the basic moves of bellydance, as taught in our Bellydance Fundamentals Technique course, as well as putting them into combos. Moves like shimmies, hip drops and circles will not be broken down and explained. More advanced dancers are very welcome and can expect to be challenged!

Catch-up options: This course is held Tuesdays in Bankstown and Wednesdays in Chipping Norton. Catch up missed classes by attending the alternative location.

Pricing: The course is $180 per person.

Beyond Beginners (BBs) classes are suitable for dancers with at least a year’s class experience, who are confident with all the Fundamentals moves and are gaining familiarity with more complex moves, concepts and cultural styles in Oriental Dance. Performance opportunities are available for experienced students. If you’ve had a bit of a break from dancing, consider joining the Fundamentals class (as well or instead).
