This class is designed for any level of dance experience, just as bellydance has traditionally been done by anyone from living room to stage, or granddaughter to grandmother. We will explore the foundational movements of this Egyptian dance art and its evolution across other Arabic nations and the United States. Come in non-restrictive clothing and ready to dance in bare feet. 

Katherine Wolff started out as a tap dancer for many years before discovering bellydance. After trying several other cultural dance styles, hip hop, and modern dance, Katherine joined a successful Sonoma County bellydance troupe which performed extensively throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. When the troupe's director retired, Katherine was given directorship, led the bellydance troupe to competition wins, formed a junior troupe, and began producing events. Due to an injury in 2018, Katherine took a 5 year break, but is now back to continue teaching authentic and traditional bellydance to new students.
