At the heart of any bellydance community are the regular classes which are held weekly and where experienced and new teachers can bring the joy of this unique dance technique to their students.
Our classes run in ten-week terms roughly coinciding with school term times. They are held on Monday nights. There is quite a long break in the summer months when children break up from school and most people have their holidays.
The times are as follows Monday nights in term time:
6.30 - 7.45: Beginners
7.45 - 9.00: Improvers
Jane gives everyone a list of the class dates at the beginning of each term, sometimes there is the odd break (often at half term) but we often use that week to practise a choreography to perform at the next Hafla.
Beginners are always welcome and all you need to start is some comfortable clothing you can really move in. A light scarf of some sort is recommended to go round your hips. Once you get hooked you will find you have more interest in buying coin shimmy belts and costumes! The glamour side of the bellydance hobby is very alluring, as evidenced by the throngs around the bazaar stalls at our Haflas! People really wear what they like in our classes. Although it is normal to wear less elaborate costume than you would at a hafla, in our classes people dress up or dress down as they feel appropriate, with no pressure either way.
A ten-week term costs £37.50, which is normally paid to Jane by cheque at the first class of term (or sometimes at the end of the previous term if you prefer).
It is obviously preferable to start each term at the beginning, but in practise it is no problem if you start mid-term, and you would be charged pro-rata accordingly. Do bear in mind however that others may be ahead of you, especially with choreographies, and you will have a bit of catching up to do. In the beginners classes, moves are constantly "broken down" and explained, so this should not be too much of a problem.
