Bellydance Intermediate: Glamorous Turkish Oryantal
Glamour, attitude and a more external energy are hallmarks of Turkish style bellydance (Oryantal). It's full of sinewy undulations and tight isolations, ornamented with distinctive arm pathways and kicks. Floorwork is typical in Oryantal and will be optional in class. Discover the unique Turkish flavour through a dynamic choreography that pays tribute to many of Rachel and Andrea's favourite Oryantal dancers. Bring a new flavour to your dance repertoire, as we develop a striking piece that's sure to lead to performance opportunities.
Please bring zills (finger cymbals) and a veil.
LEVEL: This more advanced class is open by invitation only, for dancers who have consistently attended class and practised for at least 2 years. Confidence with all Fundamentals and BBs techniques, ability to learn and retain combinations, developing understanding of Middle Eastern music, readiness to dive deeper. In general you should always get in touch before registering for this class if you’re not already a regular.
Catch-up options: This course is repeated on Weds 5.30pm at the CBD studio, or reach out for the recording.
Pricing: $180 per person for a place in the studio, or $105 to join us online only.

Intermediate classes are suitable for dancers with at least 2 years’ class experience, who are confident with all the Fundamentals and Beyond Beginners moves as well as numerous cultural styles in Oriental Dance. You should be comfortable with learning choreography quickly and practising on your own in between classes, as well as thirsty to continually learn more and improve your skills and repertoire.
Performance is not required, but if you’re keen, you’ll be ready to make a costume to match the rest of the group and practise lots so you can do each other proud next time we step out on stage!
