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.
