Kristina's Belly Dance Classes

Explore the beauty and expressiveness of Middle Eastern Dance!

Kristina teaches throughout the Twin Cities and is available for workshops, group or private lessons. Her ongoing classes are held at the Oakdale location (see below). She also teaches introductory classes through South Washington County Community Education in the Woodbury area.

Class Information

The Level I class will introduce new students to the fundamental movements of Middle Eastern Dance and basic zill (finger cymbal) patterns. Conditioning exercises will be taught to strengthen and tone the muscles needed for isolation movements. The movements taught in this class are low-impact and suitable for students of all ages (14 and older). Previous dance experience is not necessary. Loose fitting, comfortable clothing or dancewear is recommended. You may dance in bare feet, dance sandals or ballet slippers. The Intermediate and Advanced classes are geared toward continuing students.
