Arabellas Bellydance with Tais

Tonight (June 9th) is the last night of the 6pm class at Dominion Road until July. Natallia is working out the starting date for the next block of classes, so if you have been coming along (or if you are interested) and won't be there tonight, you can send us a message here. It will likely coincide with the start of school term 3.

Thursday 7pm class is ongoing - we have reached a part of the choreography where the music transitions to a next section - so you can still join us to learn that part of the choreography. We have 3 weeks left of that class.

Friday morning technique Based in Datura Style fusion - but transferable to any other stylisation of belly dance because we are focussing on being aware of being in our bodies, with curiosity and fun. Also 3 weeks left on this session before end of term.

Mid winter hafla June 28th (Sunday) in Newmarket: a chance to get together and share some food and dancing. More details to come.

This Week
Tonight (Tuesday) 6pm - techniques and Choreography at Dominion Road with Natallia. Including tonight, there are 3 weeks left on this block, so there is still time to join in.
Thursday Week 3 of our choreography class with me (Gillian), at 7pm in our Takapuna studio. We have already started - but we still have 5 classes left - come along as we only have the Takapuna studio this term, next term we will need a new location.
Friday 11am open beginner's technique class with me in Takapuna - this is the last week of the Friday block, however we will carry on for the rest of the term in a new block. We have been working on layering techniques, and digging in to some gooey movements. All welcome!
