Gentle Egyptian Bellydance at Heidelberg on Thursday nights 7.30 to 8.30.
Term 3 '08 starting 17th July to 18th sept
Beginners & continuing Gentle Egyptian Bellydance
aimed at older women. $125 for 10 week term or $15 casual.
at Uniting Church, cnr Edwin and St Hellier's Sts, Heidelberg Heights

This class is aimed at older women, though anyone can attend. 
Egyptian bellydance is a very energy-efficient, safe and natural style of bellydance, and the principles apply to efficient use of the body generally, so you can use this knowledge in your everyday life. 
The class is at a basic level - we usually start warm-ups on the floor, (or you can do them sitting on a chair).  In the main body of the lesson, we study technique and finish with music interpretation of one or two songs - (or you can free dance if that's what you want to do).  We don't usually learn choreography, but concentrate more on getting to know your bodies, exploring different qualities of movement and learning how to express the music through dance.
