WHAT TO WEAR

Come dressed in comfortable pants (tracksuit / jazz / tribal / gym pants) and a top that allows us to see your body movement clearly. The classes include stretches which require you to work on the floor mats and stretch out your arms, so make sure the clothing you wear is suitable for this. You can start off dancing bare foot or in socks and buy the belly dance t-bar shoes / ballet shoes once you are sure you want to continue with lessons. You can also purchase a shimmy belt / hip scarf with coins on which you will tie around your hips to provide emphasis to your hip movements.
