Bellydance Classes
Beginner Courses
Learn the hypnotic undulations and exciting hip isolations that characterize this ancient art. In a very fun and friendly atmosphere, we learn all the basic movements: circles, figure eights, hip isolations, steps, turns, shimmies, and more. Then we put them together into a beautiful dance.

This class is sponsored by Shamira. Fee is $75 for the five-week session if paid in advance. You can pay on the first day of class. Drop-ins are $20 per class.
Winter Weather Cancellations: In the event of a class cancellation a makeup class will be held. If you cannot attend the makeup class, you will be refunded for the missed class.
Level is beginner to advanced beginner. We will keep working on upper and lower bellydance isolations, hip work, undulations, combinations, shimmies and other fun stuff. If you've never taken a class before, now is the time to jump right in. Classes are structured, but also informal and comfortable with no airs.
Most classes end with a "girls night out" dance party. We make a big circle and dance around with each other using the moves we learned in class as if we're out dancing in a club. Good practice for when we do a real girls night out in a real club!

What Students are Saying...
Dear Shamira,
I fell in love with belly dancing the first day I danced with you in Kirchner Dance Studio. I thought it was so much fun and I loved the exercise. It was a great experience for me.
It is a far ride for me. I live about 40 minutes away. I thought that I would try to dance closer to my home.... Not thinking that the teacher would make that big of a difference...WRONG! I am very happy to have had that experience because I now know how lucky I am to have been blessed with your class.
I can't begin to tell you how much I have come to appreciate your beautiful style and grace, your professionalism and how much fun I have learning the dance. You teach in a clear and precise way that I can follow and enjoy. I will be willing to travel whatever distance it takes!!!
Once again, Thank you for your talent and for sharing it with me.

**************
Shamira,
I've really been enjoying your classes. I have attended some bellydance classes in the past that made dancing feel like a chore, and I knew something was wrong. Your class revives in me the natural feelings of joy and relaxation and reminds me why I liked dancing in the first place. So thanks - I appreciate your work and especially your calm approach which allows the dancing to feel safe and natural and so much fun.
Best,
Erel
