Our Open level course is open to all levels except complete beginners. Ambitious new beginners may join on the understanding that the course is not designed as a beginner course. Join us for moves, technique and choreography.
Day: Tuesdays starting 23rd September 2025 (no class half term 28th October).
Time: 8.00-9.00pm
Venue: Kendrick School Dance Studio, 41-43 London Road Reading England RG1 5BN (the entrance is on East Street). Please scroll down for info on parking.
Coach: Sandy

Curriculum: This term you are going to learn a drum solo. Drum solos are great to work on technique and precise execution of the moves you have learned on your journey thus far. Although this is an open level class, the choreography was designed for dancers that are fairly new to bellydance. This is also excellent for anyone wishing to return to dance after a longer break.
All members are invited to perform the routine at our end of term Christmas Cabaret on Saturday 6th December at Loddon Hall, Twyford. (Though it’s not compulsory!)
Course fee: 10 weeks £95.50

*Kindly note that by making this booking you understand that course places are non-transferable and non-refundable regardless of student circumstances, e.g. illness, injury, holiday, pregnancy.

Where is Kendrick School dance studio?
The studio is in Kendrick School Sports centre which is on East Street off London Road, RG1 5BN (see map attached). If you turn right just after The Turks pub on London Road (this is East St.) and go about 30 yards down the road you will find the sports centre on your right. There is a buzzer entry system and the receptionist will let you in.
The dance studio is upstairs on the right. It’s helpful if you can leave any big bags etc. in the boxed just outside the studio so we can keep the floor area as clear as possible.
Where can I park?
There are a couple of car parking options available, plus there is two hour parking along Kendrick Road which is a short walk away.
1. Some parking is available in the Cedars car park on London Rd (left hand cross on the map). The Cedars car park is situated just before the Turks pub. If you are driving along London road, you go past one set of traffic lights (and have the main entrance Kendrick School on your right) continue past the second set of lights by the dentist and then turn right (crossing the bus lane) into the car park in front of the school building that is called Cedars. It’s an open car park with no gate or buzzer. If you are coming down Kendrick Road you will go across the lanes to turn right into the car park. You will then have to walk around to enter Kendrick School via East Street.
2. Some parking is available in the Sports centre car park on East Street, it’s a buzzer entry system. Though this is the smallest car park so it’s probably best to try the Cedars one first.
