​Traditional Middle Eastern Dance With Jan Lowry (Thursdays 3:00-4:00)

This is a mixed level class so beginners are welcome. We begin with a grounding exercise and move onto stretches and then into basic drills.  During class we use props like veils and finger cymbals. January begins our new choreography and our finger cymbal  piece.  I will teach you the basics of finger cymbal work for this piece. 

Wear clothes you can move in and soft soled shoes if you want or you can dance barefoot as well.  If you have a veil, finger cymbals and a hip scarf bring them, but if not I have some to share.  Bring a water bottle as well.

Monthly registration is $45.00.
