ATS (Tribal) dancers

When?

We run an 8 week term that starts at the beginning of school terms.
Term 1: 4th Feb - 26th March 2020
Term 2: 28th April - 18th June 2020
Term 3: 21st July - 10th September 2020
Term 4: 13th October - 3rd December 2020

Where?

We hold classes in Tuggeranong: Tuggeranong Arts Centre, 137 Reed Street North, Greenway - We are in the studio, which is best accessed through the double yellow doors that come off the side car park (just before you go under the bridge). When you enter the centre we are in the studio on your right.
At Bellyup, we teach two different styles of bellydance, Oriental (what most people think of when they think bellydance) and Tribal (a modern form of bellydance where dancers learn a 'vocabulary' of dance combinations using cues to dance together).
In our Oriental classes, we teach you the moves through choreography, rather than endless drills. That way when you go home from your very first class, you will already be able to put together a number of moves!
Likewise, Tribal style will have you dancing combinations from the very first class. We teach using the ATS format where a leader uses cues the other dancers follow, this makes every performance unique.

Who can dance?

Anyone!
Our students have ranged in age from 6 to 83.
We have women of all shapes and sizes, and have taught students with varying degrees of mobility.

Class descriptions

 Beginner Drum with Bec: Learn the basic sharp moves such as shimmies, piston hips, pops, Egyptian walk and hip drops. This choreography is perfect for anyone who has never belly danced before – or for anyone looking to brush up on their sharp moves.
Exotic with Bec: ​A short drum choreography performed in two groups, this dance will have you performing your moves with precision. Suitable for both experienced dancers and new dancers with some previous dance experience.
Tribal (ATS Level 1) with Katrina: This class is aimed at introducing the basics of tribal (Level 1) to beginner dancers, and introducing finger cymbals (zills). In this style of dance, you only need to remember short combinations, not a full length choreography! 
Hips Don't Lie with Fran: Popular choreography to the classic Shakira song, this dance is full of skirt flourishes and confident combinations. Don't forget to bring your attitude! ​Bring a skirt if you have one.
