Geek Out With Oreet
Dance vs. Dance Fitness:
Episode 7 of the Belly Dance Geek Clubhouse:
My guest, Oreet, will talk to us about belly dance fitness classes. We’ll approach this from both the student’s perspective and the teacher’s. So no matter where you are in your dance journey, there’s something here for you.
You’ll learn:
- How a belly dance fitness class is different from a traditional class
- How belly dance fitness can fit into your training routine
- What belly dance teachers need in order to move into belly dance fitness
- How lesson planning is different for a fitness class
- How to position a belly dance fitness class in the age of Zumba
We’ll also have some discussion time, so you can ask Oreet your questions.
