South Street Arts Centre, South Street, Reading
Drop in class -
Pay on the night, -
(This class runs every week unless the hall is pre booked -
This group is perfect for those who want to give bellydance a go, meet new people and have fun. Some more experienced dancers drop by to do both classes, but but in the beginners class mostly its all fresh to the group. I work on a rotating lesson plan that covers 60 weeks although the key moves repeat every 20 week, there should always be something new to challenge you. The second class will be working on Cool Combinations, to better understand linking moves, and presenting them as not only interesting to do, but also interesting for the audience to see. The individual dancers will be able to work at their own ability levels, and work towards being more creative in their own combinations.
The Arts centre is a great building, in a very central position, good for public
transport and car parking. Because its early evening there is some on road parking,
or you can take the short walk to Queens Road car park. The centre itself is staffed
while we are on site, and our favourite room has natural light on three sides. Because
this venue has to give priority booking to its management we can't run every week,
but I put the dates on this site and we rarely get less than 3 months notice. If
in doubt feel free to email me before setting out-
