Belly dance, also known as "raqs baladi," originates from Egypt but has gained recognition not only in the Arab world but also in the West. It traces back to a feminine origin, emphasising body undulations and muscle isolation. The belly dance program allows participants to acquire fundamental dance skills while focusing on technique, coordination, and fluidity of movement. Belly dance classes are part of the Mini-Sessions program. Please note that these classes are available from September to December only and offer the opportunity to be part of the Christmas show.
