Wednesday nights, 6:30pm-8:00pm; 6-Week Course £60, Drop-in £12 (if space allows–this class consistently sells out, so drop-in attendance may not be possible) – To register, click HERE.
Aimed at the beginner or the more advanced dancer wishing to revisit and strengthen elementals, this course goes back to basics: over six weeks, we will become acquainted with the conditioning required to build the body for tribal fusion movement, and also be introduced to drills for building muscle memory of the fundamental movements. All new students must register for Elemental Movements before doing other courses.
By the end of the course, dancers will be acquainted with the basic components of the tribal fusion movement vocabulary, and will also have some practice integrating them into combinations. This class will involve yoga- and pilates-based conditioning, so come dressed to move and bring a bottle of water and a yoga mat.

Â
8 September – 13 October: Pure Drills @ Urdang Academy
Wednesday nights, 8:00pm-9:30pm; 6-Week Course £60, Drop-in £12 – To register, click HERE.
For students who have completed the Elemental Movement course, it’s time to practice the tribal fusion movement vocabulary to build a solid foundation in muscle memory.
This is a vigorous class is for nailing down the essentials, and polishing them through practice until they shine. Pure Drills focuses on the basics: Undulations, taxims, mayas, chest figure-8s, arms, umis, chest circles, etc. This is a chance to put the ideas for good technique into action, carrying the information from the Elemental Movement over into a regular focused practice.
This class will involve yoga- and pilates-based conditioning, so come dressed to move and bring a bottle of water and a yoga mat.

Â
9 September – 14 October: Combinations & Experimentation @ Urdang Academy
Thursday nights, 6:30pm-8:00pm; 6-Week Course £60, Drop-in £12 – To register, click HERE.
Aimed at the dancer familiar with tribal fusion, this class is intended for students who have completed the Elemental Movement and Pure Drills courses, and are seeking to expand their range of movement in the tribal fusion vocabulary and gain a sense of how movements work together.
Over six weeks, we will put technique into practice–honing moves through drills designed to get you improvising and building combinations for dance. Each class will deal with a handful of moves and ideas in detail, and through these we will explore concepts essential to constructing one’s own choreography, such as musicality, transferring movement, and fluidity in improvisation.
Classes may be taken as a course, or on a drop-in basis, though there are ongoing projects within the course from week to week. This class will involve yoga- and pilates-based conditioning, so come dressed to move and bring a bottle of water and a yoga mat.
That’s all for now! I hope all is well with you, and if you need more information, get in touch!

For complete beginners and anyone wanting to review and hone their basic bellydance technique for pristine performance and practise! A perfect way to enjoy those long summer nights and the last opportunity to take a 7 week beginners course in Clapham before 2011…
Bellydance class is time you take for yourself to listen to your body and learn new ways of expression and release. Meet new friends and improve your level of health and fitness in a supportive, female environment. It doesn’t get much better than this!
Bellydancing is one of the oldest dances in the world, based on the expression of individual sensuality and spirit. Its roots are found throughout the Middle East, North Africa and the Balkan countries but today is practised all over the world.
Anna’s unique style of bellydance, Oriental Fusion, is based in Egyptian cabaret and heavily influenced by American bellydance technique, South American samba, tribal, jazz and more…

 

Bellydance tones all the muscles of the body, builds flexibility, stamina, core strength, natural grace, body control and awareness, & self esteem
Learn arabesques, hip circles, rib circles, body accents, shimmies, figure 8′s, myas and undulations…

 

Anna began bellydancing in 1993 and continues to  study with master teachers in Egypt and America, keeping her style fresh and her music exciting. She began teaching bellydance in 1997 &  has since taught thousands of women in New York, London, Istanbul & Mumbai. She is now one of the most popular Arabic dance teachers in London. Her teaching style is focused on developing strong muscular technique & feeling for the dance but most especially classes are a a place to have fun, stay fit, learn a new form of self-expressions & meet like minded women.
