This class is open to all ages, and students should have taken at least one beginner Belly Dance class with Shanrae or another instructor with a minimum of 6 months of belly dance experience.
Belly Dance is for anyone who struggles to enjoy conventional exercise programs and is looking for fun, alternative ways to get fit, toned, and energized, or just to have fun and experience something new.
In this class, you will continue to build on the foundational movements and techniques of belly dance learned in the Beginner class.
You will continue learning to understand and appreciate how your body works during dance and how to isolate specific muscles and breathe through movement while enjoying movement combinations and short choreography. Belly dance can increase confidence, relieve stress and tension, and create a time that is just for you to relax and celebrate your body and how it moves.
This Intermediate class will focus on continued use of proper posture and technique that will allow you to build on the foundations of belly dance and begin exploring more in depth movements, isolations and layering of movements.
So if you're looking for a fun, new way to build strength, stamina and increase flexibility, in a safe and nurturing environment, come dance with us!

With the assistance of the yoga wall straps, slings, bars and harnesses we will be doing poses that are known to many, but the “familiar” postures are experienced in a decidedly different way with the yoga wall. Often, with the help of the yoga wall, poses can be held longer and the shape of your “familiar” pose will often be different. It is very illuminating and balancing to experience this approach to the yoga āsanas. The level of difficulty is not great, but this is a class for people with some yoga experience.
