Mixed-Level Bellydance Class 3 Notes

Movements:

• ATS Hip Bumps (a.k.a. Hip singles with one foot flat and one foot on releve)
• ATS Choo Choo Arc Turn
• Hip Slide
• Maya with flat-ball-ball-ball footwork

Review choreography and add on!

Dance the choreography as a group circle.

Sorry for the last minute cancellation last week. I came down with a fever and did not want to be spreading the germs. I am feeling much better now. No more sneezing, coughing, etc.

So, see you Thursday!
