Different Drummer Belly Dancers

Location
about me
Different Drummer Belly Dancers mixes traditional belly dancing and modern music, borrowing from cabaret, American Tribal, and Dunyavi Gypsy styles of belly dance. We believe the power, beauty, joy, and grace of belly dance can be expressed in our modern 20th and 21st century music. Plus audiences love it!

Basically, if it is belly dance, we'll do it.

Plus the director believes in performing and taking risks. :)

The below class is offered through the Bloomington Area Arts Council. To register, call 334-3100 and give them your information. :)

BELLY DANCE FOR EVERY BODY!

Instructor: MARGARET LION

These classes meet for 7 weeks:

age group: 14 & above; 11 – 14 accompanied by a paid adult

tuition: $95 nonmembers/$76 members



Sept. 8 – Oct. 20

(FTDANLIO530) Tuesday evening: 5:30 – 6:30pm



Oct. 27 – Dec. 8

(FTDANLIO531) Tuesday evening: 5;30 – 6:30pm

 
This class will introduce the ancient art of belly dance. Every body shape, size, age, and gender are welcome. Belly dance is a low to no-impact form of exercise. It helps strengthen your body’s core (abs and back muscles) and posture as you discover your sense of rhythm (even if you think you don’t have any). It also gives you a feeling of joy. The class will cover the basic moves of belly dance including fast moves like shimmies and hip bumps, and slow moves like hip circles and arm movements. Students will be introduced to Middle Eastern music, the concepts of keeping time, and how to follow a song’s rhythm and melody. Students who have already taken a class will be given advanced moves to practice.



These classes meet at Panache School of Ballroom & Social Dance, 311 E. Winslow Road (Winslow Plaza).



Materials: NONE REQUIRED; appropriate footwear recommended (shoes should stay with the heel of the foot as you move). Flip-flops or sandals are discouraged for dancing.
