Spring Short Courses Announced!

Spring Short Courses have been announced, and are open for registrations. Courses will run for 5 weeks from 22 August to 22 September.

MON 6:30 (Intermediate +)
COMBINATION EXPLORATION
Each week you will learn a new combination with a different movement focus. We will then adapt the combination to suit a variety of styles and music.

MON 7:45 (High Intermediate +)
MIDDLE-EASTERN RHYTHMS FOR PERCUSSION & DANCE
Each week you will learn to play a middle-eastern rhythm on Drum, Riqq or Zills. We will then explore dancing to the rhythm - where the expected accents are, in what styles you are likely to encounter each rhythm, and also play with a variety of movement patterns to suit.

WED 7:45 (Intermediate + enthusiastic beginners welcome)
PROPSTRAVAGANZZA!
Explore a different prop each week to get a taste of technique, styling and a couple of fun combinations to practice. You will play with Veil, Sword, Melaya, Cane, and Isis Wings.

THU 6:30 (High Intermediate +)
THE LANTERN (CHOREOGRAPHY)
This slow fusion favourite, choreographed by Hester, uses tea-light candles, strong arms, emotional expression and dynamic contrasts to create a mesmerising experience. You’ll learn the dance step by step through drills and combinations.

THU 7:45 (Intermediate + enthusiastic beginners welcome)
TECHNIQUE BOOT CAMP
Each week will have a different movement technique focus; sharp, smooth, shimmies, arms and footwork (travelling). We will drill for perfection, and use combinations to build confidence and ability in transitions. The perfect way to get ready for a next term!

For the super keen, Term 1 2022 classes are up!

You can register for classes here.

Summer Workshops are Back!

Summer workshops are a great way for you to learn something new, give bellydancing a try, or just keep up your practice over the break. Everyone is welcome to register for Summer Workshops and Events - you don't need to be a regular Ghawazee Moon student to come along.

Our teachers are drawn from Canberra bellydance teachers and musicians in recognition of the high quality of teaching and variety of expertise in our region - so if you're learning bellydance in Canberra, you'll likely see a teacher from your school in the line up!

This summer's social events include the Welcome Back Halfa & Markets on Saturday 8th, a Craftermorning on Saturday 25th, and the Student Cabaret on Saturday 22nd. It's been a long time since we have danced together - it will be wonderful to see you there!
