“Daily dance uplifts the soul to spiritual realms” – online bellydance classes to get you through quarantine

Or is it?

After receiving the news that all classes had to cancel, teachers all over the country got their creativity flowing. All of a sudden, many teachers were arranging online classes (and helping each other arrange their online classes <3 ). All of this to keep their students dancing! But is this also your chance to follow one of their lessons in the comfort of your own home, or to try out a class by a teacher who would normally be too far from your home.

In this time of social isolation and uncertain situations, it is important to have some kind of way to deal with everything going on. Dance is an amazing way to do so! And bellydance is especially calming for women.

To help you find a bellydance class that fits your experience and dance needs at the moment, we made a list of available online dance classes by Dutch teachers:

El Yasmine | Angela

Angela teaches Bellydance Basics, a beginner’s class that focuses on the basic movement vocabulary of (fusion) bellydance, Tribal Fusion Bellydance on a more advanced level with tricky combo's, drills and layering’s, and Burlesque Dancing in a more classical style with vintage and pin up elements, and a more wild, explicit modern style.

Angela’s lessons are really interesting for them who want to enter the world of Tribal Fusion Bellydance, but she is also an amazing burlesque teacher!

You can join every session and pay per lesson. Prices:

• Burlesque Dancing / Klassiek & Modern €10,- per lesson
• Bellydance Basics / Tribal Fusion Bellydance €12,- per lesson

Bellydance school Bellyssima

There are three aspects to the belly dancing lessons at Bellyssima: fun, growth and togetherness. These aspects are most important in every lesson, and not your dance skills or how flexible you are. Important is that you want to learn how to belly dance. We make you feel comfortable in your own skin, that is what matters. Starting in April, our traditional belly dance classes will get a fusion twist. We will start with Flamenco Bellydance Fusion, will you join us?

New: Femme Fusion

A way to break the day in this uncertain period. 30 minutes of fempowerment. Come and join us! 2 sessions a day, every day (except Wednesdays). Start 12h & 18:30h. Women Only.

Femme Fusion is divided into seven stages with where there is attention for both mental and physical wellbeing. It is a bit of Pilates, mindfulness, cultural dance and cardio fun! You will use all the muscles women tend to get problems with. This 30-minutes a day will get you through this quarantine period.

Because this course is still in development you can join us for free until April 5th but I do want your feedback and a review online. Want to know more about Femme Fusion: https://www.femmefusion.nl
