If you'd like to come and dance with me this term, here's what you need to know.
- Beginners are very welcome.
- Beginners classes aim to teach you the basic building blocks of Middle Eastern dance, and give you a guide to the various styles of dance and music. Improvers classes are more specifically in modern Egyptian style bellydance.
- We usually dance in bare feet, but dance shoes (not trainers) are fine too. Wear something that doesn't restrict your movement, and makes you feel comfortable and confident.
- You might like to wear a scarf or something similar around your hips.

- If you'd like to come to Thursday evening classes at The Fisherrow Centre, Musselburgh, just come along and join in.
