Bellydance Classes at Behrens Street Bleeding Heart Bellydance of Napa, is proud to announce that they are now teaching classes at the Napa Valley Art Association building at 1520 Behrens St.
Bleeding Heart Bellydance performs and teaches a style of dance called American Tribal Style Bellydance. American
Tribal Style belly dance's movements are inspired by folkloric dances
of the Middle East, North Africa, Spain and India. This
dance style is an improvisational style of bellydance that relies on
strong communication between the women dancing, rather than
choreography, to create a united performance experience. Though
it is a modern American dance style, the feeling is ancient and exotic,
with vibrant costuming, music, use of zills (finger cymbals), movements
and interaction between the tribe of dancers. The style emphasizes the beauty of women dancing together and is engaging and empowering. Join us for a class or show.
Leslie Lew, director of Bleeding Heart
Bellydance, will be teaching beginning classes at the Napa Valley Arts
Association on Monday evenings at 5:30 through February. Leslie’s intermediate and advanced classes are
ongoing Thursday evenings at 6:15. And 7:30. Classes are designed to increase grace and strength and to bring out every woman’s natural and powerful beauty. We develop camaraderie and a community of women.
Director Leslie Lew has been dancing American
Tribal Style since the early 90’s with Invaders of the Heart, Troupe
Anahata, Manasa, and Bleeding Heart Bellydance and began teaching in
2006. Leslie received her General Skills certification from Carolena Nericcio in 2009.
For more information and to register:
Call Leslie Lew at 530-252-7517 or email at bleedingheartbd@hotmail.com
