Belly Dance Workshops
Hip Motions Workshops are designed to help students and experienced dancers alike broaden their dance experience! What is a Workshop? These are common in the dance world and considered "intensives", A way to study with a specific instructor that sometimes you wouldn't normally have access to because they live somewhere else. It is also a way for local dancers to give a specific topic in a 2-3 hr timeframe instead of over a month or two in a regular hourly class. Think of it as a special 2 hour class with a professional dancer. Always a great way to advance your dance and learn as much as you can!
Workshops are offered throughout the year.
Duration – 2 to 3 hours depending
Pre registration required. 10 registrations required for class to make.
Prerequisite: None
Price : varies
