Embodying the Flow: Bellydance Basics

Denyse Dansereau

Join Denyse Dansereau, an experienced dancer and choreographer, for a welcoming and inspiring introduction to bellydance. This workshop invites movers of all levels to explore the beauty of this ancient art form through fun, accessible techniques that anyone can enjoy. You’ll learn the basics of bellydance, including isolations, graceful arm movements, and playful hip patterns, all while discovering how to connect your body to the rhythm of the music.


Denyse will share elements of her own style, blending traditional and contemporary approaches in a way that feels natural and expressive. This workshop is all about celebrating creativity, building confidence, and enjoying the magic of movement in a supportive, relaxed environment. Whether you're a complete beginner or a dancer seeking fresh inspiration, this is your chance to try something new and connect with your own flow.


What to Bring: Comfortable clothing, water, and a scarf or hip sash if you have one (optional).
