Getting Started


Returning students:

New Students:

Welcome! We teach six weeks courses that meet once a week for an hour. We offer beginner-level classes every day. So for example, the Monday 8pm (c)horeography class meets for 6 Mondays 8-9pm. You'll need to check our class schedule, and once you find a day/time combination that works for you, check our calendar on when the next six week course starts for that day-of-week.

Below are the steps that you'll need to follow:
1) Is belly dancing right for me?You must be a women (16+) who wants to dance, that's it for prerequisites.
Still not sure? Read these: Why us, health benefits, but I'm.., other myths.
2) Technique or Choreography?Both are designed for beginners in that you first learn basic moves. In a choreography class, they are put together to form a simple dance, while in a technique class you stop at combinations (emphasis on work out)
3) Every day -
Which day/time works for you?
See schedules from Little 5 Points Studio, Windy Hill Studio, and the Perimeter Studio.
Not sure which one is closer to you? See studio locations.
4) Which 6-week course start date?
You can only join a six-week course during weeks 1 and 2.
See the Studio & Events Calendar for upcoming start dates.
Also note the special pay-as-you-go classes if you want to try out a class or bridge the time until a six-week course starts.
5) Walk-in or early registration (w/discount) $60 - Walk in (During week one or two of course only)
