About this Event
Winter 2026 Bellydance Choreography Program (Jan–Jun) — Progressive Training + Optional Summer Performances
Beginner-friendly • All levels welcome • Fun, upbeat combos
Join a warm, body-positive weekly bellydance class in the heart of New Westminster!
Bellydance is a great dance form to learn to express yourself, feel your body and learn how to connect to the music and improvise.
All levels are welcome!
What we’ll do in class:
This is a structured, progressive bellydance program—designed for consistent growth, skill-building, and choreography development (not an ongoing “drop-in whenever” workshop format).
Drop-In Dates (Trial Weeks Only)
Drop-in sessions are available only for the first two classes:
• January 19, 2026
• January 26, 2026
These dates are ideal if you want to meet the instructor, try the format, and decide whether you’d like to commit to the program.
⸻
Starting February: Term Registration Required
Beginning February 2026, classes will run only when at least 5 students are pre-registered for the term.
• Term registration = your spot is secured
• Drop-ins become add-ons only (space permitting, max 10 students per class)
• This structure allows the group to progress reliably and ensures the class can continue running sustainably.
⸻
Program Format: Progressive Training + Choreography Builds
We will train gradually and build choreography over time. Material is taught in sequence—week to week—so students can develop technique, confidence, and performance readiness.
• Winter choreography #1 completed by end of March 2026
• Spring Choreography #2 completed by end of May 2026
⸻
Important Notes About Joining Mid-Program
We warmly welcome motivated dancers who join later, however:
• If you join mid-term, you will need to follow the current level and tempo of the group.
• We will not re-teach the basics or re-cover previously taught choreography for drop-ins or late joins.
• This keeps the experience fair and focused for students who are committed to the full progression.
Thank you for understanding and supporting a consistent, high-quality learning environment.
