Summer School 2026

Summer School 2026 is coming up! Bookings now open! I’m once again delivering three sessions in my popular Belly-Lates format. (No previous experience of Pilates necessary!)
These sessions are ideal if you can’t make regular classes, or you’ve had a break from classes, or you just want to keep bellydancing over the Summer!
Summer School is aimed at all levels of bellydancer and is a great opportunity to go deeper into the stylization and technique of the dance. We take the time to go into a deep-dive of how to connect movement to the music.

 

Dates: Thursdays 9th, 16th, 23rd July
Time: 8.00-9.00pm
Venue: Kendrick School. London Road, Reading, RG1 5BN (entrance on East St)
Booking*: £13.50 per session or £35 for all three sessions
