FAQs
-
Any one who is interesting in learning do dance and moving their body can come to class.
We ask that you have a willingness to learn, try new things, and are respectful of yourself and your peers
-
No, many students join our classes with no formal dance experience. If you are new to dance or belly dance I recommend a Level I or Foundations class.
If you have previous belly dance experience, I recommend any class available on the schedule.
If you need help selecting a class, please contact Kirah directly.

Classes that are offered “live” are classes that happen in real time with students and an instructor. We offer the option to take real time classes either online from your own home or in person with the instructor. All live students will be interacted with, receive feedback, and get to ask questions regardless of format. Recordings are available to all Live students.
On-demand courses are specifically designed for students to learn on their own schedule and timelines. These are pre-recorded and assessable at any time.

*Wear comfy clothes that you can move around in such as: leggings, yoga pants, t-shirts, tanks etc. A little form fitting is better than completely baggy but do what makes you comfortable and lets you move around.
*I normally dance and teach barefoot. You are welcome to wear any footwear that you would like as long as they are dance shoes
*Water!
*Please test your internet connection / video set up prior to class

Sometimes life has other plans. If you should miss a class you will still get a copy of the recording to practice with that week.

Should there be a snow storm or weather that prevents travel, Kirah will send an email an hour to an hour and a half before class starts. Class will either:
*Become virtual for everyone
*Be moved to a make-up date
Kirah will announce which option when she posts the cancelation.
