Hello Dancers!

Just a quick reminder that we do not have class this Thursday. I will be heading out to Corpus Christi to teach at the 28th annual Shimmy By the Sea bellydance festival. I'm so looking forward to it!

If you're just now thinking of starting the Thursday Tribal Fusion class, you can! We will be in the Cafe Dance studio next Thursday, May 24 at 7:45pm. Hope to see you there!

With lots of shimmy!
Lily

Reminder!
There is no class this Thursday. However, if you're participating in Shimmy Mob, we will be having rehearsal at our Thursday class time. Join in if you can. $5 per person (goes to the studio fee).





The next 8-week tribal fusion belly dance series starts May 3. In this series, we will be focusing on drills and combos and exploring the different facets of fusion within belly dance. No choreography. Just some seriously fun dancing to a wide variety of music and stylization.

Additionally, I'm also offering drop-in classes for this series. So, if you wanted to try the class but not commit to the full 8-weeks, feel free to join in any time.
