Oh man, I’m a little exhausted after this intense week of dance. My birthday party was so much fun, I was really excited about getting to share my passion for belly dance with all of my friends and family, many of whom had rarely is ever witnessed it before. It was a fun way to show them this huge part of my life in a way that was fun for everyone.
Next thing to look forward to is my class starting on Saturday. I am really excited and have been getting all my music and curriculum ready.
Beginner belly dance class is an hour long and will meet for the first time meet on Saturday, August 15th at 2pm. The class will take place at Galleria Unico located at 44 E Superior. I highly recommend taking public transportation, parking is street and very hard to come by.
There is no registration required and the class will be ongoing. You can take the first class for $8. The rates beyond that are $15 for one class, $12 per class for a 10 class card and $10 per class for a 20 class card. You do not need to take your classes consecutively but after a year class cards will expire.
As far as clothing goes, you want to wear something comfortable that you can move freely in. Many girls like to tie a scarf or coined belt around their hips to clearly see their positioning and hear the rhythm of their movements, this is by no means a requirement. You can dance barefoot or in socks. Sometime girls like to buy dance shoes, but when your starting off I would recommend you stay away from anything with a heal.
If you need any more information, send me an email at class@princessrina.com. Don’t forget to sign up for the student mailing list on the Classes page.

I would love to take some belly dancing classes. Are they at the same studio that I went to before?

I have never been captivated by belly dancing as much as I have when Rina is performing. I hope to one day be one of the best, like she is. Thank you for all you do Rina!
