Class Descriptions

Anaya Tribal Style!
Learn to dance with your sisters!
Tribal Style is a form of belly dance that focuses on group improvisation. With a leader / follower relationship, you will learn a tribal language based on easy to remember moves and cues. Everyone learns to lead and follow so that the flow of movement and energy is ever-changing.
Students must attend the Level 1 before attending Level 2.
We highly suggest continuing Level 1 until you are confident in leading and all beginning level moves. We also suggest Level 2 students continuing in Level 1 classes as a warm-up/refresher to maintain their foundation skills. Level 3 students also should re-take intermediate as a warm-up/refresher, as well.

What should I bring when I come to class?
CLOTHES - Wear comfortable clothes - yoga pants and a tank are best as you can see the movement of your body. Loose clothing tends to make it harder to see what's going on underneath. You can wear a coin or hip scarf if you have one.
WATER - Bring water, we can work up a sweat!
ZILS - In all tribal classes, please plan on bringing zils or finger cymbals. Borrow them from a friend, purchase a set (4) from our studio, online or at a bookstore (you can get a basic pair from the bellydance kits they arecheap but not great. Try to get a set that has double holes to eliminate wiggle. We have a few loaner sets to use in class if you forget them.
A SMILE - a good attitude and the willingness to let go and have fun!
A FRIEND - she might like it to! And two memories are better than one!
