My second session of American Tribal Style bellydance classes for the spring will be starting up again this Thursday, March 20th, and will last for eight weeks, through Thursday, May 8th. The classes are held at the Dance Center, at 223 S. Pete Ellis Dr. on the east side of Bloomington. Additionally, we'll be holding our spring hafla on Saturday, May 10, so please join us then for a great party and wonderful dancing.

Level I (6:30-7:25)-- we'll continue to explore the fundamentals of ATS posture, cues, and vocabulary, building on the movements covered in the last session. (You do not need to have taken the last session to take this class, however.) We'll also begin to work in duet, trio, quartet, and chorus formations.

Level II (7:35-8:30)-- we'll continue our exploration of the new additions to the FCBD vocabulary, as well as work with more advanced formations and transitions, including orbits, lateral fades, and dueling duets. This class will also work on preparing a piece for the hafla on May 10. Students must have completed at least one full session of Level I before taking Level II. Level II students are encouraged to attend Level I as a warm-up and a fundamentals drill.

The cost for either class is $65 for the full 8-week session or $10/class at the drop-in rate. If you wish to take both classes
concurrently, the cost is $100 for the full session or $15/both classes at the drop-in rate.
