Belly Dance Amethyst Bridgewater with Karinishka

NEXT TERM: Term 1 2024 | LAST TERM: Term 4 2023 | Pricing | What to Wear

For a fun way to get fit – and learn this beautiful dance form in the process – join us at Bridgewater Hall on Thursday nights.

Classes are suitable for all ages and open to people with all levels of dance experience from absolute beginner to dancers with previous experience in belly dance or other forms of dance.

Class descriptions give an indication of whether the classes are focused on basic moves (foundation) or assume a basic level of belly dance knowledge (open), but all classes are open to all dancers and many students come to both.

Term 1 2024 – From February 2024

HOB FI DIMASHQ (LOVE IN DAMASCUS) 7pm – Bridgewater and online
Open level/Intermediate
This  term we will be working on expressive technique in a dreamy silk veil dance to Love in Damascus by Radwan Nasri. This beautiful piece captures our attention from its first plaintive notes, before building in intensity to a passionate crescendo, inspiring an emotional connection between music and dance.

Term 4 2023 – From October 2023

BUM TRAS (BOOM BANG) 7pm – Bridgewater and online
Open level/Intermediate
This term we will be working on a lively, fun Balkan Fusion skirt dance. With swishing skirts and spins aplenty, this upbeat skirt dance will set pulses racing, for dancers and audiences alike.

What to wear

Wear something comfortable and easy to move in, such as leggings, yoga pants or a full skirt.

A hip scarf is recommended but if you don’t have one, a scarf or shawl to tie around your hips is a good idea. I have a few coin scarves for new students to borrow when they start and also have hip scarves for sale at the classes.
