Took at belly dancing class (located near Times Square) and I’m glad I went but not sure if it was what I was expecting! The class was small, around 5 girls total, and we learned a small sequence that was a part of a whole dance. Apparently this sequence was more footwork and less rolling the body, so it didn’t feel like I was actually learning how to belly dance. I was hoping for step by step instructions to learn the classic Shakira belly dance moves as a party trick lol. Both instructors were very nice but at one point one of them got in front of me during the dance to show me how it’s done (I was “too tense”) which just threw me off and I was just there to have fun. However this class would be great if you’re interested in learning the whole comprehensive art of belly dancing and there is also a performance option once you’re more advanced! Seems like a tight knit community and I hope they do well. They also give you a hip belt to wear during the class and the first class is free!
