New Term

The new term begins in a few weeks, the adult learning classes I will be teaching are at Lowton on Tuesdays and Hindley on wednesdays (there may also be some classes at Abraham Guest in January) The enrolment for these classes are next week, the 7th for Lowton, not sure about Hindleys dates yet...check out their website or the local press.
All adult learning classes this term are for beginners.
See below to give you some ideas about the courses I will be teaching.

Introduction to Belly Dancing . Jane Hanley

This is a ten week course which will cover basic belly dance technique and performance skills.
Every class will begin with a warm up, stretch and pulse raiser and finish with a cool down and stretch.
We will work on posture, belly dance moves such as hip drops, camels, hip circles, chest and head isolations as well as simple sequences and dances.
The learner will be exploring the use of veils as props, and will learn and perform a simple group choreography towards the end of the course.
The learner will need to wear comfortable exercise type clothes, or a long full skirt. Bare feet for preference, soft ballet style shoes are acceptable, trainer or heeled shoes are not allowed. As the course continue, a warm layer is advisable.
Please bring a drink.

Come along and enrol or pass the info on to someone who fancies a go!
