A few of my friends and I joined in this past Saturday. We danced, learned a few moves, and had a great time. Can’t wait to go back for that salsa dance class. One thing ... we didn’t get to see the performance because the instructor had to leave. That was a downer. Besides that detail we all had a great time. A nice switch of girls night out!
A good way to start the main moves for belly dancing. Pretty good coverage for a 1 hr workshop. Would recommend (not necessary, but suggested) getting some exercise maybe a week before the class, so one can get maximum milage from the class...
Only downer was that there was no performance as promised at the end of the class.... We were really looking fwd to that piece.
This was fun and great exercise too. The teacher was engaging and helpful--I definitely recommend.
The whole premise was def fun, wine and apps first then dancing but I thought the dancing part would be a little bit more exciting. Improvements could be the addition of accesories (hip scarves, bells, etc) and maybe some more dance moves. All in all it was good time!
This event was excellent! We met some really nice people, everyone was incredibly friendlyand the studio staff was pleasant and personable. Middle eastern appetizers were great and ther was wine to loosen you up if you needed it! The instructor was very knowledgeable and had a very good and patient teaching style. The music was good and it was a great workout. Would definitely recommend to ALL!!
This was FUN ! I think for first timers you need to mention lose clothes (yoga pants,etc) and that you may purchase the sash at class.
It fabulous! They served food and wine - what better than belly dancing with a full tummy and a buzz on?
But seriously, it was a very fun time. The three of us who went are considering signing up for regular classes.
The studio is nice and the teacher was very good. However, I was really disappointed that the teacher did not perform as stated in the Goldstar description.
An event where you get to learn the basics of belly dancing in a comfortable atmosphere/studio. The appetizers/drinks are the perks of the event.
Great atmosphere, great teacher, great deal! Had a glass of wine, middle eastern appetizers, and then an excellent (and humorous) belly dance lesson...all for $14. Can't beat that =)
~E~
The instructor was very good and talented!
The class was fun and entertaining. She even gave a performance at the end which was awesome and inspiring! The only thing I wanted in addition was maybe a short routine to take home ; ) Leaving with a usable product is always nice!
My friend and I had a really good time...we drank some wine, had some good food, and learned a few new moves. Everyone was very nice. We'll be taking more classes!
the dance loft is very nicely decorated so it adds to the mood for bellydancing.
Instructor was late and she set up to sell hip scarves first. the lesson itself went well and the turnout was a good size i thought. she worked her way around the dancefloor to check on everyone's progress.
