AFFILIATE CLASSES

ORIENTAL DANCE FOR FITNESS AND HEALTH

Welcome to the world of Middle Eastern Dance! It is one of the oldest, most communal, and holistic forms still practiced in an age that begs for connection and balance. This dance form has been practiced and performed for millennia by peasant and princess, all through the Middle East, North Africa, The Levant, and throughout the Diaspora. And thanks to the Romany people, spread as far as Spain, Armenia, and Central Asia, where parts of this dance are still practiced.

Its health benefits and the sense of community it fosters, makes it the most popularly practiced form throughout the world. Regardless of age, shape, or ethnicity, anyone will benefit from the improved posture, greater flexibility, balance, and alignment dance can provide. Because it is low impact and highly aerobic, it has great cardio-vascular benefits, and improves fitness, mental clarity, a strong core, and stamina. As a famous dancer and teacher once said, when asked why she looked 20 years younger; "….because this dance seems to massage the insides….". The posture that is taught opens the body, keeps the spine aligned, and allows the musculo-skeletal relationship to move in harmony and promotes over-all fitness.

Two different classes are being offered on Mondays and each day two sessions will be offered: The class choices are from 7:00-8:00 pm and 8:30-9:30 pm. Session One, called "Basics One", runs on Jan. 11, 18, 25, Feb. 2, and 9. Session Two, called "Basics Two", runs on Feb. 16, 23, Mar. 1, 8, and 15. March 22 is a Special "cultural" night open to all the students!
