Inner hip circles, also known as omis, are a fun and juicy isolation! We recommend the BSB: Pelvic Locks and BSB: Hip Lifts classes before this one.

Get your sass on with SHOULDER SHIMMIES! This move is great on its own or as a layer. Prepare to push your endurance!

What do you think of when you imagine a belly dancer? SHIMMIES! They’re fun, fast, and a good challenge of endurance. We highly recommend pairing your shimmy practice with a little Hippy Yoga to help relax your shimmy muscles.

We suggest learning Chest Lifts & Drops and Chest Slides prior to Chest Circles. Enjoy learning this juicy isolation!

This fun and funky isolation is great on its own, but it’s also a foundational piece of other great isolations like chest circles, chest taxeems, and chest mayas!

Hip lifts are the foundation to lots of other awesome belly dance hip movements. Learn a few different ways to access this movement and then layer it with the Escher Step!

Chest lifts and drops are great on their own for accenting music or making fun combinations. They are also the foundation for learning more challenging chest and ribcage movements.

Good dancing begins with good posture. Violet will walk you through the key components to beautiful posture.

The pelvis is a fundamental part of many key belly dancing movements. We will start small with learning the difference between imprint and neutral and then apply our new knowledge while doing standing drills. Pelvic awareness can lead to safer posture and gorgeous hip movements.

The Escher Step is a simple footwork pattern created by Violet to help beginner students with zero dance experience. While it has nothing to do with belly dance specifically, it’s a handy tool in learning how to do footwork and eventually for layering basic belly dance movements over.
