QUICK-PEEK CLASSES by TYPE or STYLE

I have listed all classes below by type of class or style of dance in case you only wanna study one thing, you will notice none of the other similar classes overlap. Yay! And, if you'd like to vary your learning experience, this list will aid you in your pursuit to become the best well-rounded and educated dancer you can be! Yay, again!

Categories are:
*American Tribal Style (ATS) / Synchronized Group Improvisation
*Tribal or Other Fusion
*Traditional Ethnic Dance (our "root" forms no matter what style of bellydance you prefer!)
*Other (Lectures, Critique Class, Media Marketing, Music, Fire, Anatomy, etc.)
*Gothic or Burlesque Dances

Raquy and The Cavemen - Percussion Ensemble Class! Yes, drums and cymbals in one class!
