At BELLYDANCE BOOTCAMP you will feel energized and empowered through this perfect blend of dance and exercise. It’s a work out and a dance class together! We work up a sweat with belly dance moves to upbeat Arabic music, then work our triceps, abs, and glutes with strengthening moves. The class ends with some soft Arabic music and wonderful stretching. Here is some information about the class:

No dance experience is required for this class. All levels of fitness and dance experience are welcome.
· The cardio is low impact but you will sweat! Students rave about how it’s great for their back and gentle on the joints.
· Wear something comfortable but not too baggy. Yoga pants and a fitted shirt are recommended. Shoes are only necessary for people who need the support.
· Feel free to ask questions about the dance, the technique, or the music! Andrea is an experienced performer of belly dance and has traveled to Egypt many times to learn from the best instructors in the world. She can answer any question you have about belly dance.

The buzz about Andrea's classes:

"The class is my favorite part of my week!"

"I feel like a dynamo after class!"

"Andrea, no one can teach like you!"

"Your class was the highlight of my visit to the United States!"

"Hi Andrea- I am a regular dancer at the YMCA where you teach Belly Dance. I enjoy the beautiful workout so much that I mentioned it to my moms' group. I am glad you shared this fun experience with our Monday Mamas on June 2nd. Now, we have a new dancing adventure to add to our kid-filled days. Thanks for your graceful belly dancing techniques!"

"We had the best time at our personal Belly Dance Salon!! You really made everyone feel so comfortable. You provided a bit of education via your videos, then more education and tons of fun with your class. All of our hip moves (and giggles) made for a fun and exciting evening. I don't think anyone realized what a fun workout Belly Dancing could be. Thanks again. I really hope we can do this again in the future."'
