Bellydance Essentials Course

Thank you for visiting our Beginners page! If you’re looking to get started learning bellydance then you’re in the right place. We welcome women and men of all shapes, sizes and fitness levels.

Designed for complete beginners like you, our Bellydance Essentials (BDE) course is where we give you all the building blocks you need to start bellydancing quickly. The first 6 weeks focuses on key moves and technique, like hip drops, shimmies undulations and snake arms. Then, after half term, we teach you your very first bellydance routine!

If you like the idea of a fun and lively class which challenges you to embrace your body like never before, then our class is for you. Places are limited and we generally sell out, so snap up your spot by booking below and we’ll see you in class!

Our beginner classes are held in gorgeous mirrored studios. Here’s  our central Reading venue at Read Performing Arts College, it’s a lovely converted church.
