Tribal Classics & Beyond

Saturdays 10.30 - 11.35

Classes - suspended until further notice

​​

Learn the system of ATS® belly dance from absolute beginner to performance level  (if you wish)

We’ll teach you how to dance step by step

You will learn the basic vocabulary of fast and slow steps

We’ll introduce posture, zils (finger cymbals – we have some you can borrow) and the core concepts of how to lead and follow so you can dance with others in formations with no need to learn choreography

Moving on we’ll add to your repertoire using creative combinations, practising leading and following, transitioning between moves, working in formations and chorus

You are welcome to join us at any time as we have plenty of review in every class

So dedicate some time to yourself and enjoy the power of dancing in a fun and friendly class

The Next Step & Musicality

Saturdays 11.45 - 13.00

Classes - suspended until further notice

Adding more steps and combinations we'll use them to interpret our music. Each week we’ll choose a track and take it apart, map out the phrasing, look for the coat hangers and memory joggers!

​

How does the music make us feel, is it swirly, bouncy, bumpy, what steps could we use to fit how we feel. How do we transition smoothly from one step to another, one phrase to the next.

Lots of drills and dance practise.

A good knowledge of the classic ATS® steps covered in Tribal Basics & Beyond is required for these classes
