Belly Dance Style of the Serpentine School
The Serpentine School teaches Western-Style Belly Dance - that is, belly dance as it has grown and developed in the western world through the work of immigrant dancers from the middle east and inspired western dancers in love with the dance form. We respect and love our Middle Eastern roots, but we do not try and emulate the way native Middle Eastern performers dance - we dance belly dance as it has evolved in America over the last 30 years.
Classes here centre on a specific style known as Tribal Fusion Belly Dance, a strong, fluid and beautiful belly dance style that blends elements from many world dance forms with belly dance. This form of belly dance has a very strong emphasis on isolation, control and safety, so be assured you will be learning a fantastic well-rounded approach to belly dance that can be applied to any future style you like!
You can learn about the roots of this dance style by taking our ATS (American Tribal Style) classes and workshops, and by taking our Salimpour Format Inspired Workshops!
