You don't need any dance experience to start. Roots is designed to teach you from the very beginning.

Here's what a class looks like:

• We warm up together. Simple movements to get your body ready, no dance background needed.

• You learn how to stand. Posture is the first building block in this style, and we take the time to get it right.

• You learn the basic moves. Step by step, we go through the core movements of FCBD® style  things like shimmies (quick, gentle shakes). Everything is broken down and practiced slowly before we put it together.

• You learn how the group moves as one. This style is danced in a group, using hand signals and eye contact instead of memorized choreography. You'll learn how that works, one cue at a time.

• You practice with support. Every class builds on the last one. Nothing is rushed, and you're never expected to already know something.

​

IS THIS CLASS RIGHT FOR ME?

Yes, if:

• You've never danced before

• You're curious about belly dance but nervous to start

• You want to build strength, confidence, and a new skill in a friendly space

• You're already dancing with us in Shoots or Bloom and want to build a stronger foundation

​

You do not need to be flexible, coordinated, or "good at dancing" to join. Everyone starts somewhere, and this class is built for that.​​
