About Bellydance
Bellydance is one of the oldest dance forms in the world — and one of the most empowering. Our classes combine traditional technique with playful choreography to celebrate every body. You'll learn isolations, shimmies, hip work and arms while building remarkable core strength and posture.
Bellydance offers a unique fusion of fitness and cultural exploration. Students learn the intricate movements of this ancient dance form while improving flexibility and toning their muscles. Led by Luisa Fuentes, who shares the joy and tradition of bellydance with rhythm, expression and core-building movement.

Booking FAQ
How booking Bellydance works
How do I book a class?
Use the live widget above (or open it in a new tab). Create a free fitDEGREE account, pick a Bellydance class on the date you want, and check out. You'll get an email confirmation immediately.
Which class should I pick?
New to Bellydance? Start with the lowest level offered (Beginner or Level 1). If you have prior experience, check the class description for prerequisites — or contact us and we'll point you to the right fit.
The widget shows no availability — what now?
That usually means the next week's schedule hasn't been released yet, or the class you want is full. Open the booking site in a new tab to view a wider date range and join the waitlist — we release spots regularly.
Can I cancel or reschedule?
Yes — cancel up to 12 hours before class through your fitDEGREE account for a full credit back. Late cancels and no-shows forfeit the class.
Do I need a package or can I drop in?
Both work. Single drop-ins are available, and class packs / memberships save money if you plan to come regularly. See our pricing page for current options.
Still stuck?
Email or text us through the contact page and we'll book you in manually. We're happy to help first-timers get set up.
