Bellydance Class
Our bellydance classes exists from different levels. We have 4 beginners levels, building up from the very beginning up to almost intermediate. So you always start with beginners 1 than 2, than 3 etc. The same for the intermediate and Advanced classes. Because of this system you always grow with your group, and dance with people from your own dancing level! If you miss a class, you are allowed to make- up your class 2 times in a season, on the level or time that suits to your schedule. Classes of the same level will be parallel classes, so we will treat exactly the same material at the same level! Downunder you will find the prices, class schedule, subscribtion form and the explaination of each level. View Promo Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uShs9PxQpw&feature=share
