6-Week Tribal Belly Dance Series with Lynette



January 5-February 9 - Maui Yoga Shala



Learn to coordinate, strengthen and condition your body to decrease the effects of the aging process and to increase self confidence and body image. This course is catered to students who have little to no experience with bellydance. During this 6-week series, you will learn to isolate muscle groups that you may have never felt work together before. We’ll start each class with Datura™ style movement studies to increase coordination and technique for belly dance. We’ll have fun learning saucy combinations that are moving to inspiring music.
