 What to Wear?

Wear something comfortable such as a T-shirt and track pants try to keep it close fitting (no you don't need to bare your stomach) and bring a water bottle.  In the winter months the floor can get quite cold so bring non-slip yoga socks or dance shoes.

We encourage women to be comfortable with themselves and their bodies by providing a forum where they can uniquely express their inner passions through the wonder of belly dance.
