Spring Into Belly Dance: May and June Classes

Spring is the perfect time to refresh your movement practice, and my new belly dance sessions offer two inspiring ways to do just that. Beginning in May at the Wilkins Community Center, Belly Dance Fitness (Mondays, 5/4–6/29, excluding Memorial Day) blends low-impact conditioning with accessible belly dance technique. Each class starts with a mat-based warm-up to activate the core and improve body awareness, then flows into drills and combinations designed to help you move with confidence. Whether you’re brand new or looking to deepen your foundation, this supportive, all-levels class meets you where you are—while gently challenging you to grow.

On Thursdays (5/7–6/25), Belly Dance Fundamentals offers a welcoming introduction to the art form, with a focus on classic technique, musicality, and expression. You’ll explore isolations, steps, and short combinations while learning about the rich history behind the dance. Classes begin with light cardio and conditioning and close with a calming yoga cool down, creating a balanced and enjoyable experience from start to finish. Reserve your spot ahead or drop in and experience the joy of movement this spring.
