Seriously ALL LEVELS ARE WELCOME. See details on our web site!
PART 2 (Feb.3rd-9th) features Belly Dance with Delilah combined with the lovely art of Nia with Jennifer Earle . Dancers of all levels can join us. The first workshop is especially good for beginners because of the instructors course running at the same time. Each beginner will be assigned a personal dance coach. The second retreat will be a wonderful joining of arts. Great for belly dancers who want to learn about Nia, and Nia dancers who want to try belly dance. Both of these movement forms teach you about YOU. They increase self awareness and vivify your life force!
