Mother & Daughter Belly Dance Introduction Summer Workshop | In-Studio
with Anna Nummelin

For thousands of years, belly dance has been passed down through generations of women.  Mothers, daughters, grandmothers, aunties, neighbor ladies, and friends would gather and share songs, tell stories, laugh, and dance. They would play music, tie scarves around one another's hips, and encourage each other as they danced - appreciating the unique beauty each possessed.  

The young girls would watch their elders dance, learning about important passages in a woman's life.  The community was enriched by every single woman, and the daughters were guided on their way to womanhood, motherhood, and growing into their own power and wisdom.   

This mother-daughter belly dance workshop will introduce basic beginner belly dance movement concepts.  No prior dance experience is needed.  Emphasis will be placed on history, deeper meaning of the movements, and importance of women's dance from a generational perspective.  

Who should attend? This class is limited to 1:1 Child & Parent registration ratio. No prior dance experience is needed! If you have more than one daughter interested in attending with you, please encourage a family member such as an Aunt or Grandmother to register themselves and the additional child under their reservation. Children must be ages 8 and up to participate. 

What to wear & bring? Wear comfortable clothing, bare feet encouraged, or dance shoes/dance socks.  Bring a scarf or shawl to tie around the hips.  Any extra adornments are helpful - especially things that move and make noise like coins or bells.
