Hi folks,
Yeah!  Good news for ladies up north!  I’ll begin teaching 6-
week sessions of beginner and intermediate/advanced belly dance
lessons in Everett in January!

6-week Session: 
Mondays~
January 7, 14, 21, 28 + February 4 & 11 (Student Recital -
February 18 - not required) $72.00 registration on the first
day of class or at the Open House on January 5th
$15 drop-in
(cash or check only, please)

OPEN HOUSE:  Saturday, January 5th @ 12pm Come see Dahlia
demonstrate what she does best!  Take a free lesson and get
signed up!  (Suggestion:  If you’re a mom, you can register your
children for kids’ classes at this great center for kids and
babies, then take a lesson while your child explores their
world.)

Beginners:  6:00-7:00pm
Belly Dance is for EVERYONE.  All ages (17-forever!), body
types, ethnicities and creeds are welcome to join.  This low-
impact dance style will gently tone and condition your legs,
mid-section and arms while enhancing your creative abilities.
Learn muscle anatomy, rhythms of the middle east, grace and
poise as you sweat your way to fitness!  Dahlia will be
teaching Egyptian style technique in this and future sessions.

Intermediates:  7:15-8:15pm
(By permission - contact Dahlia)  Are you feeling stagnant in
your evolution as a dancer?  Come join Dahlia and enjoy learning
a fun but challenging choreography for Egyptian style dance.
Dahlia is known for her “like butter” delivery and will help you
polish your style by learning how to focus on conscious
transitions and dancing with intention.  Questions, innovative
ideas and creativity are encouraged in Dahlia’s classes, even
though she specializes in classical and folkloric Egyptian
technique.  Come be inspired; learn a new dance; and share your
own art in the student recital at the end of the session.

TO ALL:
Please bring water, bare feet (or proper dance shoes if
necessary), comfortable stretchy pants and a comfortable shirt
or sport top.  A hip scarf, sash or shall for the hips
preferred, but not required.  (No skirts, coins or noisy
bangles please.)  These classes are for ladies who want to
strengthen self-esteem, overall wellness as well as learn a new
art form.  Dahlia’s teaching technique is supportive and
inclusive.  Students are encouraged to explore their creativity
while learning this ancient art form.
