Bellydancing UW Classes
Our organization offers two weekly classes on the Beginner and Intermediate levels. Instruction is provided by an experienced club member on Tuesdays at 7PM for beginners and 8PM for Intermediates. Sunday practice is reserved for preparation for upcoming performances. Check TITU (listed under "Bellydancing Practice") for all of our practice locations. With the exception of weekend events (available every Friday), Central Reservations will post event locations the day of the event. You must be a regular club member to receive continuous lessons through the club. Regular practices are supplemented with mini-workshops, teaching skills such as veil work, zills, and techniques from other dance forms.
In addition to classes offered through Bellydancing UW, there are other excellent Middle Eastern dance courses in the Madison area.
