Belly dance, traditionally known as raqs sharqi, is a classical and expressive dance form deeply rooted in Egyptian culture. It’s known for its fluid isolations, graceful movements, and strong musical connection. At Di Dance School, belly dance is for everyone—regardless of age, background, or experience. Whether you’re looking to explore movement, connect with your body, or build confidence, this dance form is both empowering and accessible.

Our belly dance courses focus on developing a strong foundation in technique. Instructor Diana continuously updates her teaching to reflect current trends and knowledge in oriental dance, ensuring that students progress quickly and with the right tools. You’ll learn how to count music, identify rhythms, understand how to dance to them, express emotions through movement, and start improvising with confidence. The program supports your development both as a dancer and performer.

Our group belly dance courses run in 6-week blocks, with each class lasting 1.5 hours. Every session includes a warm-up, technique drills, learning combinations, full choreography, and a cool-down. We also dedicate time at the end of class for video recordings, so you can review your progress and track your development. Classes are designed to be engaging, progressive, and suitable for various skill levels.
