About this Event
Dance is for every body, and everybody can dance... you just need to give yourself permission to move!
This workshop is designed as a parent/guardian and child joint experience, a fun afternoon to bond together, exercise and enjoy learning something new. This workshop will teach you and your child to connect body & mind to music, appreciate the way the body can respond to different sounds and feel the release of healing energy and positive endorphins created by dance.
First, immerse yourselves into the colour, fun and sparkle of belly dance, by creating your very own shimmy belt! Maybe you want to create matching belts? Then, get your bodies moving in a fun belly dance class. Learn to isolate and move different parts of your body, creating shapes and responding to different rhythms from the Middle East. Finally, we will finish the workshop by learning a fun choreography that you can perform together!
Belly dance is an ancient art form originating in the Middle East, each region has it's own styles and roots, and all have evolved over time. Belly dance calls the dancer to communicate to each part of their body in isolation and as one, to gain energy from their core and engage every inch of their body. The rhythms are infectious, your body will want to move!
Dance is beneficial in so many ways; improved memory, increased mobility and flexibility, greater core strength and bone density, healthy endorphin rush, enhanced cognitive response and coordination, and a positive growth of self esteem and confidence. Belly dance is especially focused on self esteem, as we learn to dance we see the beautiful range of movement possible and the glorious diversity of each movement on all body types... EVERY body can dance!
