About our classes

Hannan's Bellydance Studio is able to support your dance goals, whatever they may be. Should you wish to gain fitness, flexibility, grace, and poise through dance, we
would love to help you with that. If you just want to have fun while learning
about dance and music, we're there for you, too. For students with
more serious goals in mind or the desire to become a professional, we
are ready to help you meet your goals.

Your happiness is our first priority. We will NOT push you to have
more serious goals than you would like. Of course, if you want to pursue dance
more diligently, we will fully support you and push you. Keep talking
to your teachers about your dance goals, we're here for you!

We are the first studio in Canada to offer a comprehensive curriculum. This curriculum takes the guess work and frustration out of learning. All of our levels are divided into modules. You can start in any module at any time with the assurance that you will gain complete training in that level. Please see the level section below for detailed information.

We offer assesments to help you tract and build your skills. The assessment in the introductory beginner level during class at the second to last class of each session. The assessments for all other levels are conducted on the second to last Sunday of each session. Contact us for the schedule.

Questions? Please contact us or see the Frequently Asked Questions page.

Class levels:
New students start with Introductory Beginner. Beginner is a fun, sweaty, dance-filled experience! Beginners bellydance to great music with motivation from friendly, dedicated bellydance teachers. As you dance the hour away, you will be introduced to the fundamental posture, isolations, steps, shimmies, and accents of bellydance. As well, you will start dancing with the elegant and ethereal veil. After twelve weeks of introductory beginner, we suggest that you participate in the in-class assessment to determine if you should move to continuing beginner.

Continuing beginner students move to continuing beginner . Using the foundation from introductory beginner, you will start exploring the more complicated basic bellydance movements as well as refining and combining all of the beginner material. This level introduces the important concept of layering body movements and isolations over a shimmy. If you are a returning student and are not sure wheather you should take continuing beginner or intermediate, please talk to your teacher. In this level, the finger cymbals are introduced. Students take contuning beginner level classes for an average of six months.

Students who have completed all beginner levels can move to intermediate. Intermediate bellydance covers intense layered shimmies, complex combinations, rhythm identification, finger cymbal mastery, more challenging movements, fantastic steps, as well as delving into choreography and improvisation. Veil and finger cymbals are required for this class. Intermediate students learn a block of choreography and stay in this level for an average of one year.

Advanced bellydance puts together all of the skills you have learned so far while adding even more challenging and physically demanding movements. In advanced bellydance, we also put an emphasis on developing and identifying style through improvisation and choreography. Upon completion of our advanced level, students will be able to perform a complete bellydance show with Oriental, folk, pop, percussion, and prop dances. Students take the advanced level class for an average of one year. You can do the advanced class indefinately as new material is always being introduced.

The weekly professional class is designed for working belly dancers. In this class, professional bellydancers refine their technique, polish their shows, learn choreography, and learn hot new moves while getting practical advice and feedback on issues important to working belly dancers.

Our Egyptian Folkdancing class is a fantastic addition to a bellydance education and a great opportunity to learn the wonderfully fun and physical dances of Egypt. The class is taught by Nada, a native of Cairo and an alumnus of the prestigious Reda Troupe of Egypt. This class is open to everyone.

Choregraphy Sampler class teaches approximately three short, low intermediate level choreographies each session. This is a great way to learn new moves and musical interpretation. Open to continuing beginner level and up. Technique is not stressed very heavily in this class, so it must be taken concurrently with a regular bellydance class.

Private Lessons

Private lessons are a great way to refine technique and polish performance skills. They are a supplement to your dance training and should be taken along with group lessons. Dancers with a desire to perform or teach should schedule regular private lessons for in-depth feedback. Private lessons with Hannan are $85 an hour or $50 each for a semi-private. Private lessons with Nada are $75 an hour or $45 each for a semi-private. Other staff are available for private lessons at a rate of $55 an hour or $35 each for a semi-private. Travel charges do apply if the lesson is not at one of our studios.

We offer packages for parties. In Studio classes are $200 per class (performance including a 1 hour lesson). If you would like a performance and belly dance lesson to add pizazz and fun to your bridal shower, birthday, or girls night out, please see our hire a bellydancer page.
