What’s in Store?
Two hours of beats and belly dance
1. Welcome & Warm-Up: We’ll ease in with introductions, grounding breaths and a delicious warm-up to awaken your hips, spine and inner fire. Expect stretches and fluidity to warm up too!
2. Technique Segment: Learn beginner-friendly bellydance foundations — hip circles, figure 8s, accents, isolations and those dramatic body waves. Perfect for first-timers and a gorgeous refresh for regular dancers.
3. Choreography: Step into your Beyoncé–Shakira era! We’ll dance a bold, sensual, dramatic routine that blends bellydance technique with powerful pop-diva attitude. Think hips that speak, hair that commands the room and movement that feels like magic.
5. Videography (Optional): We’ll split into small groups, hype each other, and (if you want) capture your Beautiful Liar moment on video. Filming is optional, supportive and totally judgment-free.
6. Cool Down & Reflection: Slow stretches, soft music and a moment to honour your body, your effort and your inner goddess. You’ll walk out lifted, glowing and so connected.
