Beginner Belly Dancing February 5, 2013

The City’s Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities will offer beginner and intermediate belly dancing classes at the Humphrey Calder Community Center, 414 N. Thompson Street, beginning February 5.
The beginner classes will teach students the basic steps and etiquette of American Cabaret Style Belly Dance as well as provide an introduction to Richmond’s belly dance community. Along with teaching the basic steps, the class is designed to increase self-esteem and confidence and improve the student’s body image. Anyone with an interest in belly dancing, regardless of age, size or ability, will enjoy this fun class which will be held from 8:15 p.m. to 9:15 p.m. on Tuesday nights for four weeks.

The fee for city residents is $40. Non-city residents are required to pay an additional $20. All students are asked to bring a foldable Yoga mat to class.
