BELLYDANCE
From slow graceful hip swings to energetic shimmies - shake your booty and shake off the day! This great fun class is taught by Joanie Ward - you're guaranteed to come out of this class with a smile on your face.
Joanie takes you through a range of moves and styles - from Turkish to Egyptian - and presents the class in such a fun way that you can't help getting into the swing of thimgs. This class is for all ages, shapes and sizes and has been incredibly popular. The recent Shakira hit and her mix of bellydance and cumbia (traditional Colombian dance) has encouraged a lot of younger girls to come to class which makes for a great mix of people.
WHAT TO WEAR
Cool & comfy - leggings, vest tops etc. This is usually danced in bare feet but if you like you can wear soft pumps. If you have a long scarf to tie round your hips bring it along. However Joanie often brings extra for any new people in the class. Once people get into the spirit of the dance they usually want to get their own gear - skirts, scarves etc.
We usually have a Hafla (bellydance night) about twice a year where groups from all over Glasgow and further afield come to perform and party the night away. It's always optional to take part in any performances but be warned it's addictive once you start! Joanie gets involved in many charity events and people from the class find themselves in Carnival Parades and Hafla Nights all over the place. So be ready to have some fun and widen your social life!
