Feel alive & add a refreshing excitement to your life- join our Turkish Bellydance Performance Series with Pelin from Turkey!
Grandiose, surprising, high-energy, seductive at times, yet still glamorous, cultural, and elegant- That is what makes Turkish-style bellydance so exciting and unique, and just what you need to transport yourself into a magical realm that will help you destress and make you forget all your worries while you’re immersed in it.
Learn how to do cool, unexpected moves and tricks that you didn’t know your body can do! Backbends, hair flips, and floorwork will all taught with EXTREME CAUTION by a certified, experienced instructor with vast knowledge and understating of anatomy and injury prevention to ease you into new positions and movements so you can enjoy them safely!
*Modifications will be offered so you can work at your comfort level and get the most out of this experience.
All these will be put artistically together into a complete choreography that you will get to present proudly and confidently on stage for your friends, family, and a supportive audience in our next big showcase, while forming real friendships with your dance sisters along this 6-week long journey of bonding in and outside of class, with the added bonus of a designated group chat for sharing videos from class, questions and answers, and progress reports that will keep you on track and motivated up until the show, and even stay connected with your new friends after it’s done.
The music chosen for this one-of-a-kind course is one of Pelin’s, (read her touching story below), favorite pieces that moves her and connects her with her Turkish heritage she is proud to present and teach and will enchant you and make you feel like a Sultana (Turkish queen)!
As per true modern Turkish tradition- a veil will be used to create a dramatic entrance and add a colorful element to the dance you will enjoy challenging yourself with. You’ll learn intricate veil techniques, strengthen your arms, and become a fierce, confident dancer, eager to charge the stage!
The costume you’ll be wearing will complete the glam and poise of the style with its alluring elegance and sparkle, decorative and mesmerizing design to make you look on the outside like the queen you are on the inside.
This course gives you the unique opportunity of learning an authentic dance, deeply rooted in Turkey’s culture from an actual person of the region, while adding new skills to your toolbelt, finding your inner glam, and making new friends, for the complete transformative experience.
