About Stacey's Classes
Each six week series has a different focus or "theme."  Beginner class themes include veil, finger cymbals, choreography or dance combos.  Advanced themes vary and could include focus on a subset of isolations such as figure 8's or upper body work, stamina, layering, choreography, combos, etc.  Each class always includes a warm up, muscle isolation breakdown, practice and cool down.  Student performance opportunities are arranged periodically throughout the year.  New students accepted at the beginning of each series.

Students may register online or at the door on the first day of class via check or cash (no credit cards at the door, please).  Registrations at the door are subject to availability.  Please contact Stacey to reserve your slot if you plan to attend but are not registered online.  Thanks!

Beginner Bellydance Series at Niaspace
Theme this series:  RHYTHM
7pm - 8pm
During the six weeks, we will breakdown and practice movement, isolation technique, and dance combinations to some common Middle Eastern rhythms. Students will learn names and rhythmic patterns in conjunction with bellydance technique.

Advanced Bellydance Series at Niaspace
Theme this series:  LAYERING
8:15 - 9:30pm
Layering as defined by the Suhaila format dictates two or more torso movements. For example, figure 8's with ribcage locks or exterior hip circles with 3/4 singles. Ah, the possibilities. Please bring finger cymbals to every class. Advanced registration requires instructor approval for new students. Sign up for *both* beginner and advanced series for a discounted rate.
