WHAT TO WEAR

Belly dance is an active & muscular dance & a great form of exercise. Classes

involve a warm up & cool down; therefore it is important to be dressed appropriately.    

   *Please wear something fitted or loose & really comfortable, similar to gym attire.

     We want YOU to be comfortable in class. There are no set rules to revealing or

     hiding your belly for adult classes.

    * Bare feet or jiffy type slippers.

    *You can wear a hip scarf or coin belt for accenting hip movements if you

       so desire.

    *For juniors any black T.shirt or singlet & full black skirt & pantaloons [harem

     pants] will be used for performances. Please no exposed bellies for juniors.

     *Please NO jeans, school uniforms, non stretch pants, and tight skirts.

     These are just too restrictive.

WHAT TO BRING

A dance bag is ideal, this way items won’t be forgotten for class.

                          *A water bottle, pen & paper

                          *Intermediate & juniors please bring zills [finger cymbals].

                          *Veil for juniors.

  A veil is optional for adult classes as we may use one for warm up from time to time.
