Ballet for Belly Dancers
Many dancers and athletes turn to ballet for cross training and Sabah will show you why!  In this exciting workshop we will focus on core strength training, grace, balance, and structure.  Ballet can enhance a belly dancers ability to hold posture from the center, help move the body gracefully through space, and create clean and precise lines from head to toe.  

Infuse your belly dance technique with grace and give yourself more options in movement vocabulary. Whether you are dancing in an intimate space or a large auditorium, this unique combination of styles
can help with spatial awareness and presentation.

Ballet for Belly Dancers is a tailored-made class for belly dancers looking for a fantastic,technique-improving workout.  We'll begin with  a floor barre warm-up series that consists of ballet movements designed specifically to tone, lengthen and strengthen the body.The main portion of the class will focus on body alignment, posture, and arm placement, cross-pull coordination, arabesque lines, and turns. Then we'll incorporate it all into dynamic combinations, seamlessly transitioning in and out of hip work.  

Be prepared for a challenging workout that will benefit both new and seasoned dancers!  Get ready to see results and have fun exploring a different face of dance!

* PLEASE NOTE:  The warm-up does include floor work,
so students are encouraged to bring a yoga / exercise
mat for comfort.  Soft slipper ballet shoes are
encouraged but not required.
