If you've been dying to learn how to move like Shakira, but have been too afraid to step foot in a belly dance class, we offer a comfortable, welcoming environment for absolute beginners (yes, this means you may have never swiveled those hips in your entire life) who are waiting for their chance to discover their dancing feet. Belly dance (more appropriately titled Oriental) not only provides you with killer moves, it's also an empowering dance that helps open up the hips, loosen the torso, and work out tensions in the body through learning how to move more fluidly. Although men and women alike can study Oriental, this class is for women only.

The Brazilian samba has been taking this city by storm over the past few years. It's a celebratory dance that's most known from Rio de Janeiro's annual Carnival season. This class focuses on movement from the region as well as Bahia. It's high energy and is certain to be a great addition to any fitness regimen. This class is open to all.

Feel free to wear anything that'll inspire you to shake it!
