Bellydance TeenFusion - Custer Fair Edition

This workshop focuses on exploring the basics of bellydance for girls in grades 6 - 12. Wednesdays, 4/20 - 6/15, 4 - 5 pm

Gathering together girls in grades 6th through 12th, this workshop focuses on exploring the basics of bellydance and on creating choreography in a group setting. The resulting piece will be performed at the 2016 Custer Street Fair (performance is NOT required) by the students who want to take their work to the stage.

This workshop weaves body positivity and self-esteem building into the dance, celebrating each girl for who she is right now.

Standard workout attire (and bare feet) are appropriate for the workshop, and simple costuming will be discussed for the performance. Bare bellies are not required in class or on stage.
