Claire currently teaches regular classes in Jesmond, Newcastle and West Moor, Killingworth. She teaches a combination of technique and choreography in her classes, also encouraging her more experienced students to explore the dance through improvisation and solo and group work. Claire's choreographies are designed to both be fun and provide her students with an understanding of the different styles and nuances of Arabic music. Please wear comfortable clothing (eg workout trousers, leggings, skirt - no jeans please!) and be prepared to dance barefoot. If you want, bring a hip belt or scarf to help accentuate your movements - a limited number will be available to borrow. Please feel free to contact Claire to confirm availability and term dates! A new term of bellydance classes will be commencing in April. Classes run during term time only. If you are an absolute beginner, you are better off if you can join one of the open level classes within the first few weeks of term, to make sure you get a chance to learn the basics before we move on to more complex material!
