ArabesqueLex - WED Bellydance Fundamentals - Choreo w/ Silk Butterfly Wings
A choreography-focused bellydance fundamentals series centers on the use of silk butterfly wings and blends foundational Middle Eastern technique with theatrical fusion. Held at Arabesque World Dance, the classes develop essential posture and grounding, along with hip drops, lifts, shimmies, and traveling steps. Instruction explores expressive prop work by learning to frame, float, and guide the wings to support storytelling, and it also covers staging, musicality, and clean transitions so the sections connect into a full piece. The series culminates in a complete choreography with a dress rehearsal in the final week. Students who complete the course have the option to perform at Arabesque’s fairy-themed show. Space is limited to provide ample room for wings.
Salsa Bootcamp (level 1)
This level 1 salsa bootcamp offers a welcoming, technique-focused path to feeling confident on the dance floor. Participants build strong fundamentals with clear guidance on precise footwork, smoother turns, and simple combinations that translate easily to social dancing. The package is $75 per person and includes the group bootcamp classes, one mini private lesson that can be scheduled, and a social dance party. The program is presented by The Salsa Center.
Heart To Heart
This weekly, in-person peer support group brings LGBQIA+ adults together to share experiences, listen to one another, and foster community in a welcoming space. It focuses on peer support rather than services from licensed mental health counselors, and the group can help connect participants with helpful resources.
