Why
Bellydance?
There
are as many reasons to learn to belly dance, as there are women who want
to learn this ancient dance.
The physical benefits are many and varied,
as the dance gently tones while encouraging both flexibility and
endurance.
The dance is an ideal outlet for
self-expression, allowing a woman to express all facets of her personality
- the sensual, the serious, and the playful.
In addition there are spiritual benefits
as the dance connects women to all the women before who have enjoyed this
life affirming art form.
"Through this goddess dance I can express myself
as a servant or a queen, vigorous woman or an innocent child, agressive or
tender, ruling or obeying, I am a fulfilled woman who makes choices, I give
all I have in me and I am so happy." - - Amira Mor
Classes
Beginners:
An is open class, Amira Mor starts with warm-up
and body isolation, slowly moving into coordination and choreography. You
leave the class with a lot to show to your loved one.
Advanced:
In the advanced class there is all of that from the beginners
class and more. A lot of choreography, fusion dance, Indian belly dance,
middle eastern belly dance, and Brazilian belly dance. Amira Mor teaches
her own unique style, using all different styles of music, and emphasizes
listening and feeling. You will also learn how to use zills (finger
cymbals) and veil as part of these classes. It is high energy and very exciting.
When it is slow, it is the slowest, that is when we focus on feeling,
start with technique and move to feeling. Looking deep within and growing
slowly into true and independent self expression. Amira teaches stage
presence, correct postures and walking like you own the world.
Dress Code:
For beginners it is alright to come with ANYTHING YOU WANT as
long as you comfortable moving. In class you can purchases what ever you
need whenever you need it. Advanced students required finger cymbals
and veil to start with. All can be purchased on line or in class. Shoes
are very important (Amira recommends more than anything for safety beauty
and comfort and to skirt veil hip scarves tops finger cymbals and
more).
Amira Mor wishes to dance with you in
her classes, wishing you a year full of music and dance!
