​

Where?

We hold classes in Tuggeranong: Tuggeranong Arts Centre, 137 Reed Street North, Greenway
We are in Studio 2, which is best accessed through the double yellow doors that lead 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.
What style?
​At Bellyup, we teach two different styles of bellydance, traditional/Oriental (what most people think of when they think bellydance) and FCBD/Tribal style (a modern form of bellydance where dancers learn a 'vocabulary' of dance combinations using cues to dance together).

In our traditional classes, we teach you the moves through choreography, not just endless drilling. This means that when you go home from your very first class, you will already be able to put together a number of moves!
​
Likewise, FCBD style will have you dancing combinations from the very first class. We teach using the FCBD format where a leader uses cues and 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

Traditional/Oriental style:
Beginners - Seghat Bikrub el Habib
This dance is a Bellyup favourite, suitable for both beginners and experienced dancers.
Learn an easy choreography that incorporates mainly smooth, flowing moves with a few sharper movements thrown in for some fun accents.
This dance introduces group formations and transitions, so you will learn how to dance as part of a larger group. 
Continuing - El Enab
This term our continuing students will be learning a high energy shaabi dance called El Enab that was created by our Canadian dance sisters, Bellyup Studios. Bring your stamina and your drink bottle!
Prior bellydance experience is recommended for this class.

​FCBD Style (ATS/Tribal):
Level 1/2
In this class students will learn short dance combinations that can be used to dance together with other students in a supportive environment.
