Sarah offers 3 types of Bellydance classes; one focuses on technique, the other on physical fitness and stamina, and the last focuses on connection and community. All classes are open level and are for women only.
Bellydance / Raqs Sharqi
All levels
Raqs Sharqi is the correct term for this dance, meaning Oriental Dance.
The dances that are practiced in the Middle East & parts of North Africa.
The word Bellydance doesnât exist in the Arabic language.
For clarity & simplicity I use the term Bellydance, but it is indeed Raqs Sharqi.
That said, this class includes a bit of everything that makes Bellydance such a fantastic dance & practice for the body, mind & overall well-being.
This class is suitable for dancers with no or little experience with Bellydancing, and for experienced dancers that would like to refine & improve their technique.
Classes are for women only.
Things we practice
- Developing basic posture, techniques, moves.
- Strengthening exercises for the abdominal muscles & whole body to improve posture, balance & body awareness.
- Shimmying, shaking & having fun together.
- Various Oriental Dance choreographies.
- Mindfulness exercises for femininity, sensuality, and self-embrace.
What to wear
- Wear something you feel pretty and comfortable in and that doesn’t restrict your movement.
- Shoes: barefoot, socks or soft ballet shoes.
- Scarf for the hips: If you have one bring it with you, if not I have some at the studio you could borrow or buy.
- Your crown, because yes you are queen!

Sensual Bellydance Womenâs Circle
Connect with yourself and others
In this 90 minute journey, you are invited in your own pace to connect with your body and sensuality. It’s not about dancing ‘sexy’ or a certain way, SENSUAL in this class is meaning ‘ENGAGING THE SENSES’ dancing and moving from within.
All through the magic & medicine of Bellydance we connect with ourselves, each other, dance, shimmy, shake, have fun, and share.
