Adult Classes:
Middle
Eastern Beginners
The Middle East is one of the oldest civilizations
in the world. Today we can witness and share in these
civilizations through Middle Eastern Belly Dance.
Belly Dance has been done for thousands of years as
part of cultural traditions, fun and exercise.
Women of all shapes and sizes enjoy the courses offered
through the World of Dances. Each course is designed
for dancers of all levels, including those who have
no dance experience. Every level teaches specific
controlled movements that are used in Middle Eastern
Dancing. The first 2 levels of dancing at World of
Dance include a choreographed dance routine to show
students how to link individual movements together.
In later levels students learn ways of creating their
own dances. In addition participants learn history
and traditions of belly dance from dancing outside
after your chores, to American Cabaret for entertainment.
In keeping with traditions, dance moves and music
are based in Middle Eastern origin, such as Morocco,
Lebanon, Egypt, Turkey, yet have an American feeling.
One of the goals of the class is to allow students
to take time out of their busy schedules and concentrate
on themselves. When students walk through the dance
studio door they are encouraged to leave the world
behind and focus on themselves.

Sacred
Dance
Sacred Dance has nothing to do with a specific dance
style or with particular body techniques. The dancer
moves in a way that unities his or her Mind, Body
and Spirit with a Higher Spiritual Energy. It is not
of importance whether we call this energy "God",
"The Creator", "The Great Spirit",
"Nature", "The Cosmos" or anything
else. What is important is that these results in the
dancer feeling spiritually uplifted and filled with
joy. Once working with the Sacred Dane, you will find
yourself becoming more aware & feeling closer
to the essence of you and others around you in life.
