5-WEEK SESSION - starting June 10th.
WEDNESDAYS, 8:15 - 9:15 pm
Location: Rise Up Center

Session Dates: 6/10 - 7/15 2026. *** NO CLASS 6/17 ***
Build on those skills you've been learning in the Level technique classes, and learn a fun, original choreography by Ankara Rose!
This session is... Sword! Combining elegance with mystery, strength and power, you will learn to utilize the sword in your dance through a fun mini-choreography we will work and build upon each week.
We will cover foundational balancing skills and sword tips, exploring the art of balance and control through powerful sword technique, expressive lines, and commanding presence. We will take it beyond basic poses – incorporating fluid moves, transitions and turns. We go beyond just a prop you plop on your head - to using the sword as a partner in your dance. We shall explore the aspects of strength and power in our sword dance, in the style unique to Ankara Rose. With strong stage presentation and inspiration from martial arts and the warrior, you will learn to put these concepts together to release and celebrate your own warrior within.
You will need a sword for this class. Please bring a sword that is balanced for bellydancing (a very limited amount are available to borrow, on a first-come-first serve basis. Priority goes to prior Level 2 students first. Please email [email protected] to inquire about reserving one ASAP).
I recommend the Baladay Scimitar from Kult of Athena: https://www.kultofathena.com/product-category/swords/belly-dance-swords
We will build (& move forward) on the choreography each week, so regular attendance is strongly advised. There are no drop ins for this class.
This class is Open-Level (Levels 1+) - for dancers with prior Belly dance experience. At minimum, must have taken the equivalent of at least 1 full level 1 session in the past (having attended at least 6 out of the 7 classes) or more, and be open to a fun new challenge!
