Bellydance Mondays, Level 2 Combos and Choreography. Bellydance Level 2, a stand alone class or building on the technique covered in Level 1, Technique and Training, develops traveling combos and transitions with and without props as we develop combinations that complete a choreography throughout the session.

Monday night adult classes work together and students are encouraged to try both hours for the best bellydance experience!
