A bellydance class is a fun way to add low-impact exercise to your fitness routine. This dance is suitable for all ages and body types and can help increase your flexibility and range of motion, in addition to being a lot of fun!

Add a special flair to a girl’s night or afternoon and schedule a mini group lesson in your home.  Perfect for teen parties and sleepovers, a bachelorette party, or any time you want some extra excitement. Cost depends on the length of the lesson (30 minutes up to an hour) and the number of people attending.  A 10-minute solo performance can also be included.  

If you and some friends are interested in beginning classes, please contact us to set up a series of private group lessons.

**Unless otherwise noted, classes offered by Daughters of the New Moon have a minimum age requirement of 12 to acknowledge the difference in the learning styles of younger age groups.**

Class Opportunities -- throughout the year
  • Each Fall & Spring we try to offer courses in Basic and Intermediate steps and techniques. Please contact us if you would like to be notified when upcoming classes are scheduled. 
  • Private lessons (individual or group) and coaching services are available upon request for dancers of all levels. These are opportunities to improve general technique, address specific concerns or performance skills, and add depth to your choreographic or improvisation abilities. ​
  • Spring Workshop and Show.  We routinely bring in national- and world-famous dancers to teach a two- or three-day weekend workshop and showcase them in a show with the troupe. Workshops are typically designed towards dancers who are familiar with basic bellydance movements but are open to all levels.
  • Dancers who have taken two levels of classes (or the equivalent) may be eligible to attend regular Daughters of the New Moon troupe rehearsals to practice technique and choreography.
