Tuesday Nights: BELLY BLAST w/Kira.
Starting, Tuesday, March 11th, 2008
TIME: 7:30 – 8:30 PM 1 Hour Class
COST: Belly Dance Punch Card System – see Tuition Policy below
! Drop-Ins Always Welcome !
This is an ANY level class and can be started at any time.
This class is an exercise/fitness focused class that will incorporate an extensive warm up of the full body
head to toe, stretching, strengthening, toning using light weights, abs/core targeting, and drilling particular
belly dance movements like shimmies and other hip articulations repetitively for endurance building, grace and the fine tuning
of belly dance articulations.
You will likely sweat and feel like you worked hard or fairly hard depending on your current fitness level, the following day.
This class does not actually “Teach” the breakdown of correct Middle Eastern or Belly Dance movements so that the class
is nearly “Non-Stop” in nature similar to the ZUMBA class format. It is primarily structured as a Lead & Follow format.
Many of the endurance drills Kira likes will be incorporated into this class. Middle Eastern and many other
types of music will be used for this class.
Just like the ZUMBA class structure, regular attendance will enable you to learn new dance moves while increasing your
fitness level.
A Belly Dance Hip scarf is not necessary but if you wear one – NO COINS Or BEADS of any kind!!
We will be on the floor often.
More about what to wear can be found in the WHAT TO WEAR section below.
If you have a yoga mat, please bring it in case you want it while doing floor sections of this class.
We will also incorporate Oasis weight and wrist/ankle belts. If you have these already, bring them. Small hand
free weights are also fine and while the Oasis has some of these, if you have your own, bring them.
If you want to purchase the weight belts I will be using, they come in one ADJUSTABLE hip size and one ADJUSTABLE wrist/ankle
size and you put how ever muchweight in them that you desire by purchasing the individual weight pouches.
We cannot provide these to be borrowed for class because of the cleanliness issue. You really do want your own!
Wrist/Ankle weights belts: $20 Can hold up to 4lbs, but 1lb used as wrist, or 2lbs used on ankles is PLENTY at first
Hip Weight Belts: $40 10lbs is ideal for the average body size, spread out evenly throughout the belt
1lb Weight Bags: $5.00 each
I love thinking about the progession of learning Middle Eastern Dance in this way – it is brilliant!!
Please read this: Belly Dance Mastery.
I highly recommend putting a dance bag together so that you are always ready for
anything the teacher might want to work on during any class you attend or any
workshop you go to:
The Oasis offers an Oasis Dance bag for $15.00.
Notebook and a few pens/pencils, zills, veil(s), dance shoes or slippers of some kind since you never know what the
floor will be like where you are dancing, padded socks, dress in layers or keep a tee or sweat
shirt in your bag so you can take off when you get warm or put on when you cool down, water,
a few snack bars, a first aid kit including Advil & visine,
feminine products, etc., a sewing kit w/Safety Pins – if you don’t need all of these
things – some one else will, your business cards to give to people you meet.
!! PLEASE arrive 15 minutes prior to the start of class so that class can
start on time !!
** Don’t miss the 2nd FRIDAY of each month Belly Dance “Hafla” Night where
open belly dancing is the focus and you can try out all the great moves you are learning in class!

What to Wear
|
|
|
Class time clothing should be very comfortable like sweat, dance or yoga
pants and a tee shirt. If you feel comfortable however, more body conscious clothing
is O.K. too so that you can see your body movements more clearly than bulky, loose
clothing allows. Shoes are not
necessary – assess your own personal needs and any orthopedic issues you have. If you wear shoes,
make them something like ballet slippers, Hermes sandals, etc. so that your feet have freedom of movement, unless you
need special shoes for your own orthopedic requirements.. We try to limit
street shoes on the dance floor as much as possible. If you want something to accent the hips
that is fine but not necessary for Kira’s Belly Dance Fitness focused classes. A soft scarf tied around the hips
is OK but NO COINS OR BEADS!! We will be on the floor often through class.
If you have a yoga mat, always bring it in case we are on the floor for a longer period of time and
you decide you want it.
Oasis weight belts, wrist and ankle belts may also be used and these can be purchased from the Oasis
if you want to incorporate these during class. Small handheld free weights are also available but if you
have your own set, bring them.
Please either bring a
water bottle or money to purchase water in the vending machine. There is no
drinking fountain. Staying hydrated through class is very important. This is a strenuous activity.
Your warm up is vital so please do not come to class late and miss the beginning of class
when we properly warm up the body. Please pay attention to what your body tells you and do not do anything that
actually hurts. There is a difference between feeling like you are working hard and being in PAIN.
I highly recommend putting a dance bag together so that you are always ready for
anything the teacher might want to work on during any class you attend or any
workshop you go to:
The Oasis sells it’s dances bags for $15.00
Notebook and a few pens/pencils, zills, veil(s), dance shoes or slippers of some kind since you never know what the
floor will be like where you are dancing, padded socks, dress in layers or keep a tee or sweat
shirt in your bag so you can take off
when you get warm or put on when you cool down, water,
a few snack bars, a first aid kit including Advil & visine,
feminine products, etc., a sewing kit w/Safety Pins – if you don’t need all of these
things – some one else will, your business cards to give to people you meet.

Tuition & Refund Policy
|
|
|
Payment to attend class is due prior to participation in class and is non-
refundable. All students need to stop at the registration table at the door
upon entering the studio for class to your punch card marked and put your name on the sign in sheet.
Please arrive 15 minutes prior to the start time for class so that business
can be conducted and class can start on time. We certainly understand
circumstances interfering with getting to class timely, on occasion. Please
do your best not to arrive late as it is disruptive to the teacher and other
students and so that you don’t miss extremely necessary warm up time and
technique instruction.
There will be a $25 fee for returned checks. It is at the teacher’s
discretion not to accept a student that is a repeat offender of paying with
non-receivable funds.
PRICING – Please read in FULL:
The Punch Card system simplfies the Oasis record keeping and allows students to not loose their paid classes
when vacationing or illness stikes.
PUNCH CARD Small: 6 Classes for $54. A good deal if you are looking for a cheaper option
or want to make only a small amount of time commitment. Consistency and frequency derives the greatest amount of
progress in both fitness level and dance mastery.
PUNCH CARD Large: 12 classes for $102. This is the better deal if you want to attend both Mon/Wed night classes
or come to any of Kira’s classes on a regular, long term basis. Having flexibility for class attendance is a great
thing when necessary, but please recognize that when you do not see improvement in your fitness level
or dance ability, random or infrequent attendance is a strong culprit!
ALL PUNCH CARDS EXPIRE 4 MONTHS AFTER DATE OF PURCHASE!!!!
Your CARD is like cash – do NOT loose it!! The Oasis does not keep records of the classes
students purchase and attend. If you come to class without your card – you will pay the one-time, drop-in rate
for that day, no excuses. The punch card enables students to have flexibility with class attendance.
The Oasis takes Credit Cards!
ONE-TIME DROP-IN: $15 per class. This option applies to those just wanting to try one class to see if you
like it, out of town visitors or people interested in attending a special class with a **Guest Instructor.
**There are often Guest Instructors in the studio offering unique material or filling in for the regular teacher
throughout the month to provide
diversity to the students of the Oasis,(so they do not become little clones of any one particular dancer) or cover
for a regular teacher who must be away from her class.
The Guest Instructor will cover material that is a unique forte’ of that particular teacher and gives the students
of the Oasis the opportunity for different perspectives on the dance/moves/history, etc. Kira firmly believes that
study with different teachers provides more extensive and accelerated growth in the mastery of this art form!
To understand this better read THIS: Guest Instructors – WHY?
