Fusion Bellydance L1
Fusion Foundations on Wednesdays is a class specifically tailored for beginners, improvers, and those returning after a break. Basically, if you're brand new or fairly new to fusion style, or really keen to refine your core technique, this is the perfect class for you! Around 1 year of attendance in foundations is recommended to develop the muscle memory and movement vocabulary before moving up to the intermediate class, with different movements being covered each term.

Fusion bellydance is characterised by precise muscular isolations, strong posture, and embodied, body-positive presentation. Featuring organic spirals, circles, figure 8s, undulations and shimmies, its movements offer a wonderful way to not only tone and strengthen the body but also express inner artistry and individuality.

Classes cover posture and carriage, fundamental movements, isolations, turns, spins and travelling steps, alongside stylisation, presentation, and the correct muscular actions required of strong technique whether sharp pops and locks or ooey gooey undulations. Classes progress weekly in each block with the review and introduction of new movements.

All this will get put into action in a short fusion choreography.

With every class you will:
- strengthen and tone with conditioning
- learn and drill a variety of fusion bellydance movements and isolation patterns
- understand the aspects of strong fusion bellydance posture, technique, stylisation and presentation
- dance a beautiful short fusion bellydance choreography section
- restore body and mind with closing yoga sequence

All you need to bring along is a bottle of water and whatever you feel comfortable to move in. Dancing barefoot is the norm for this style but please feel free to bring soft ballet slippers/dance shoes if you prefer.
