Next Level BellyDance! Incredible opportunity to join us online and in-person at Sahara Studio, Scotland’s Centre For Bellydancing with Principle Teacher, Founder and Priestess of Feminine Arts, Lindsey Marie Silver.
This class is for you if you want to expand into deeper learning of the bellydance art-form.
Each week we'll explore a new facet of the dance, building your skills, confidence and sisterhood.
Enjoy live drumming and the art of the drum solo, layering shimmies, choreography sequences, finger cymbals, single & double veil dancing, Egyptian saidi stick dancing, Lebanese dynamism, Turkish Roma tradition and the principals of performance to name a few topics we’ll study in BellyDance Intermediates at Sahara Studio with Lindsey.
All of this gorgeous Middle Eastern Bellydance artistry is supported by our sisterhood community; a new group of friends who all share with you this empowering practice, together, uncovering the hidden depths and forgotten ritual knowledge of the maiden, the wild woman, the sovereign, warrior, magician and crone ~ meld into the sacred feminine energy archetypes within you. Find balance and true inner beauty. Come journey with us…
Do more of what makes you sparkle!
