Hey all!
Just a note to you all that due to a double booking at the studio,
for the month of November my classes at Skin Deep Dance Studio will be
2 45 minute classes- Romani from 730-815 and Bellydance from 815-900.
This is only for November! Then we will be back to 730-930…
For these classes, all classes are discounted 25% to account for
the shorter class.
Hope to see you all there!
Amelia
Hello All!
I hope you are all flourishing on this lovely day. I
wanted to let you all know of the new class schedule, beginning
tonight. Due to babysitter restrictions, I will be teaching only
2 classes every Wednesday at Skin Deep Dance Studios on Beacon
hill. Here it is:
730-830pm Turkish Gypsy (Roman Dans) open to all levels
830-930pm Belly Dance, From Tradition to Innovation, open to all
levels
The Belly Dance class is for all levels, from Beginner to
Advanced/professional. Technique and choreographies are layered,
providing fun and challenging material for any experience level.
Students work within their own comfort zone while slowly
incorporating the progressive layers of dance- posture, movements,
arms, head and eyes, transitions, positioning, timing,
improvisation, musicality and expression.
No pre-registration required, all class fees remain the same- $12
drop in,
$55 for 5 classes and $100 for 10 classes.
Hope to see you there!
Email or call 206-724-5934 if you have any questions….
Thanks!
Amelia

Hello Everyone,
Here is the information on the next 8 week session of belly
dance classes.
Belly Dance Classes
Thursdays :
Level 1 7:10-8:10pm;
Level 2 8:15 - 9:15 pm.
Next session begins October 23, 2008.
You do NOT need to be a member of Bally to attend these
classes!!!
(Directions are at the bottom)
Bally Total Fitness at 6601 132nd Avenue NE (in Bridle Trails
Shopping Center) in Kirkland.
Level 1 or Level 2 class x 8 weeks = $80
Level 1 and Level 2 = $130 (for one 8-week session)
(you receive a $30 discount for taking both Level 1 and Level
2 in the same 8-week session.)
$14 for a drop in Class
Show up 15 minutes early for the first class so you will have
time to register, and meet others in the class. I accept cash
or check (no credit cards), payable at the first class.
The classes are an hour long. We start with stretching, then
go into isolations where we practice moving certain parts of our
bodies without moving others (hip circles, rib cage circles, hip
slides, shoulders, snaky arms, etc.). Then we learn some basic
moves and combinations. Then we work on a routine, that we add
on every week, so that by the end of the 8 week session you have
a complete routine that you can practice at home or show to your
family and friends. It is a very upbeat class - lots of fun!!!
Wear comfortable clothes that you would normally exercise in.
Skirts are generally not good; unitards, yoga clothes, etc. are
very good. If you have a hip scarf and dance shoes, bring them,
however, neither are necessary. I also sell hip scarves in
class and some music.
Learn to Belly Dance with Alexandra Volume 1 (belly dance
