BELLY DANCE CLASSES IN TAKOMA PARK
Saffron Dance at Takoma Park
In Residence at Roda Movements
7014 Westmoreland Ave
Takoma Park, MD 20912
What do a N.A.S.A. engineer, corporate lawyer, stay-at-home-mom and
your local barista all have in common? They spend their evenings at Saffron
Dance learning something you might not expect: Belly Dance. If you haven’t
belly danced before, now is the perfect time to begin. To mark Saffron Dance’s
8th year as a hub for Middle Eastern dance, Saffron is offering FREE
introductory “teaser” classes from September 15th to September 28th. These
teaser classes give students a taste of Saffron’s signature 4-week Belly Dance
Crash Course program. Created for individuals who are coming to belly dance for
the very first time, Saffron’s Crash Courses are structured and easy to follow
— absolutely no dance experience necessary! They are perfect for students to
learn the basics of Belly Dance. Each week, a new movement is introduced and
drilled, building on and incorporating elements from the prior weeks.
Particular focus is given to developing correct posture alignment, flexibility,
arm positions and paths, fundamental shimmies, basic hip accents, introductory
undulations, easy to follow traveling steps and combinations. The program
culminates in a performance opportunity so students can share their new hobby
with family and friends.
Learn more about Saffron Dance and sign up for 4-Week Crash Courses
starting September 29 at www.SAFFRONDANCE.com
