Class News.
The new year is fast approaching, and that means it's time to register for dance classes for the beginning of next year!
Classes at Joy of Motion: Changes ahead!
- Big change number one is that nearly all of the classes there are changing to a drop-in format,
which means you'll no longer have to pay for a semester of classes at
time. Drop-in classes are great for students who want to continue their
dance education, but whose schedules are too busy to commit to a weekly
class.
- Big change number two is that I will now be teaching "Skills and Technique"
for all styles of belly dance. This class is aimed to refine students'
technique; build strength, stamina, and flexibility; and expand
students' movement vocabulary through drills.
- Big change number three is that my classes at Joy of Motion Atlas are moving from Monday nights to Tuesday nights, from 7:30pm - 8:30pm. This gives you plenty of time to get to arrive on time and ready to move!
So, to sum up: Tuesday nights, drop-in class, 7:30pm-8:30pm, Skills and Technique. Joy of Motion Atlas, 1333 H St NE, Washington, DC. Bring water and a yoga mat.

I'll continue to teach two levels of Modern Tribal Style bellydance at Saffron Dance in Arlington, Virginia. Wednesday nights, beginning January 7th. Saffron Dance is located at 3260 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, VA, just a 3 minute walk from Clarendon Metro.
- Tribal 2: For students who have completed Saffron's Tribal 1, or have my permission to join. 7:00pm - 8:00pm
- Tribal 3: For students who have completed Tribal 2 with me AND have my permission to join. 8:00pm - 9:00pm
