We work on basic technique with full break-downs & step-combinations that can improve your posture, flexibility, balance, grace and muscle isolation & control. Each week we put these new moves into combinations and string them together in a dance routine, you finish a "dedicated" session with a full choreographed dance & a strong sense of body awareness.
This class is beginner but NOT easy; you will always come away with something new from week-to-week, session-to-session, year-to-year. See Class Attire here -- sorry, but no skirts, as the instructress needs to see knee & lower back positions. Drop-ins are encouraged only during a buffet session or during the first week of a dedicated session as the class learns on a curve. No prior dance experience is necessary for this class however you must complete INTRO to Belly Dance first. All 4 'Fundamentals' weekly offerings of this class have the same choreographic content, therefore interchangeable from week-to-week.

The mission of Arabesque as a Dance Center is to to give Chicago a choice; to open its doors to misunderstood dance forms, and give adults a place to learn that's a refuge for them alone. To utilize the art of Mid East Dance to enrich the lives of its community members through local & national dance performances as well as through weekly dance instruction. Our goal is to help each student find the genuine dancer within with their own natural body movements, as it embraces all shapes & sizes, any age or race without regard to any preconceived notion. To bridge the gap between dance professionals in an open & friendly atmosphere, our policy is welcoming to everyone. We promote our new generation of dance with Beauty, Dignity & Grace.
