Join Ella for a 10-week raqs sharqi (belly dance) series hosted at Flying Tortoise Academy! This class series, “Moving Musically,” uses Egyptian music as our map to build students’ vocabulary of movement. Beginners will acquire a solid foundation of moves and basic knowledge of Egyptian music; intermediate dancers will gain tools to make informed musical choices, leading to a more textured and dynamic dance.

Classes start with a brief lecture portion before moving into movement. Due to the nature of this content, class will be capped at 12 students. Be sure to reserve your spot! 

Drop ins are only available if space permits, and not recommended for total beginners.
