Bellydance Labs – Summer Session with Cathy in Kanata
8-week session • Thursdays at 7pm • July 9–August 27
Take your dancing beyond the basics in this special short-session series designed for curious, committed dancers who want to dig deeper. Bellydance Labs offers focused explorations of technique, styling, musicality, and movement quality in a supportive, detail-oriented environment.
Each class takes a closer look at the “why” behind the movement: refining posture and mechanics, improving movement clarity, layering texture and expression, and exploring different stylistic approaches within Bellydance. Expect drills, breakdowns, experimentation, and practical tools you can immediately bring into your dancing.
Perfect for dancers who enjoy analyzing movement, refining technique, and developing greater confidence, intention, and personal style.
Bellydance Flow Summer Session with Jocelynein Orleans
6-week session • Tuesdays at 7pm • June 30–July 28
This summer session is all about reconnecting with the joy of Bellydance through movement, music, and flow. Rooted in traditional Arab teaching approaches, classes focus on dancing in the moment rather than memorizing choreography or perfecting combinations. Follow along as movements unfold naturally, explore your own freestyle expression, and develop greater comfort with improvisation, musicality, and flow. Along the way, there will be space for questions, requested breakdowns, and deeper exploration of technique or styling based on the interests of the dancers in the room.
Perfect for anyone wanting to:
- build confidence improvising
- deepen musical connection
- dance more naturally and intuitively
- release perfection and performance pressure
- reconnect with the simple joy of dancing
No routines to memorize. No recital prep. Just music, movement, community, and the joyful feeling of dance.
