Dance Classes
Add Fusion Bellydance into Your Life
​
In the Fusion Bellydance classes, we practice the modern fusion style of oriental dance including shimmies, accents and snake-like movements in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere.
Fusion belly dance is considered to be a feminine dance. This fascinating hobby opens the door to a world of feminine and graceful dance, where strength and dark ambiance merge. You will get to explore a fusion dance based on oriental dance, drawing influences from street dance. This dance is an empowering experience that enhances creativity and brings a touch of magic to your life.
The dance is an intriguing hobby suitable for different people regardless of age, gender or fitness. So join the classes as you are!
For a bellydance class, you can wear comfortable tight-fitting and flexible clothes so that you can see your own body moving. You can either choose to dance barefoot or with non-slippery socks. And what adds a nice extra for dancing is a hip scarf on your waist.
​
Weekly Fusion Bellydance classes are organised in Kalasatama and Sörnäinen, Helsinki, Finland.
