The classes will focus on learning the basic movements of belly dance, and you will either learn simple step combinations or a short choreography.

Sundays 5:00 – 6:00 pm – taught by Lilla Varese

July 25 and August 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29

Suitable for continuing beginners thru intermediate level dancers. It is recommended that students have taken one or more bellydance class series before. Previous dance experience in another style may also be sufficient for enrollment in this class.

Level I-II builds upon the movements that are taught in Level I, but with introduction to more advanced movements and skills and a slightly faster pace. May include introduction to finger cymbals, but cymbals are not required for class participation.

Level II and III Bellydance — intermediate/advanced repertory

Thursdays 7:30 – 8:45 pm – taught by Lilla Varese

This series is a combination class for intermediate and advanced students, and requires instructor’s permission for first time enrollment. New students with prior belly dance training are welcome to join in. The focus is on more advanced movements, layering, improvisation, and stage presentation, with a heavy emphasis on learning choreographies for performance. Students may take the class without participating in student performances if desired. Recital and performance opportunities take place on a regular basis.

* The Level II-III repertory class will be held at Lilla’s private dance studio in Costa Mesa for the summer session, located several blocks from Tiffany’s Dance. Please contact Lilla for address/directions.
