What to Expect in Belly Dance Class
Joining a class to learn new skills or sharpen old ones is an exciting experience. Your instructor appreciates this and encourages students to ask questions and enjoy the learning process. Be ready to meet and make new friends on this amazing journey. Together we will build and strengthen our bodies while enhancing flexibility, layering skills, confidence, and an appreciation of expressive dance styling.
What to wear for class: comfortable yoga pants, fitted shirt, and bare feet. Dance slippers or foot undies are optional. Hip belts are optional and available for purchase.
In the beginner class, you will be introduced to correct posture, breath, and belly dance movements including isolation of pops, locks, rolls, shimmies, and movement across the floor! This class is about continual development of technique and is appropriate for both new and experienced dancers.
Classes will consistently focus on form, history, and technique. We will use principles taught to build exciting combinations, fun choreography, and will at times involve the use of some props! These props may include zills, veils, and swords. Props are usually provided, but students are encouraged to bring their own when discussed in advance.
In intermediate and advanced classes, students can expect to focus on skill and technique as they learn deeper, more challenging, and expressive movements. Because our classes are often mixed level, remember to be kind to yourself in the learning process and always allow yourself time to develop your skills.
Dancers at this level often desire to perform in public and opportunities may be offered to do so.
Children's' classes are provided upon request.
Private lessons are available Upon request.
Navah Mirage Performance Troupe
Navah Mirage was founded in 2007 by an eclectic group of ladies who believe in the importance of respect for culture, the dance art form, and the individual. With these ideas in mind each troupe member adds a unique balance of creativity that allows you to enjoy fusion, raqs sharqi, and other transnational stylizations. Our mission is to bring the movement patterns of Middle Eastern dance, often referred to as belly dance in the USA and its counterparts into the community by presenting exciting and fun instruction and performances.
Something that sets Navah Mirage belly troupe dancers apart is commitment to continuing education in our unique areas of interest. This allows us to offer some of the finest instruction and performances available. Our dancers have worked very hard and hold certifications in specific dance and fitness programs. This supports our students in wellness and long-term health through their self-discovery in movement.
We believe in supporting the health and wellness of the community. This must start with the individual and grow outward. Troupe members who have a desire to build leadership skills are provided opportunities to develop those skills. One way we do this is by cultivating students' areas of study, providing performance opportunities, and creating specialty opportunities. In turn, together we create affiliate teams led by qualified individuals. This allows Navah Mirage a unique and bountiful variety of skill sets to offer the public for entertainment as well as cultivate community and personal growth.
As a counterpart to our individual leadership development, troupe members train and create original works of art to perform at each event. Countless hours are proudly given to help raise funds for not for profit and other charitable causes by providing entertainment at such events. Navah also personally offers 10% of her project income to charity. Giving back to our communities is our mission. Developing in dance can and does develop hearts because movement is medicine.
