Intro to Belly Dance
Floor Barre
Lunchtime Shimmy
Try an online dance class with Rosa—FREE!
Intro to Belly Dance shares Egyptian social dance movements done by kids and grandparents alike. Learn dance movements, rhythms, and cultural context!
Floor Barre uses ballet movements done entirely seated and lying down. You’ll increase your core strength and hip mobility, and gently develop your flexibility. You don’t need any dance experience at all!
Lunchtime Shimmy is an upbeat belly dance class inspired by a different Egyptian Golden Era dancer each week. Learn about cultural context and more! This class is intended for folks who are familiar with the foundations of raqs sharqi.
See for yourself how good it can feel. Try one or both of these FREE classes!
I always feel terrific after dancing with Rosa! Precision, support, guidance, and laughter. The best!
