About this Class

Come flow, spin and fly with the most ethereal and magical prop in belly dance: Veil! This beginner class will teach you:

  • how to hold and maneuver your veil
  • basic and beautiful veil movements
  • spotting and spinning techniques
  • basic body isolations concepts (hips, shoulders, head and chest)
  • muscular and core training
  • dance choreography to put all steps and veil movements together
You'll need a 3-yard rectangular veil (light fabric like chiffon or silk material). BDL will have a few silk veils for sale in class.


This beginner class welcomes new students as well as more advanced beginners who would like to refresh their veil technique. Contact Cris! if you have any questions before enrolling.

Come explore the enchanting world of Middle Eastern dance in a fun, supportive, and relaxed environment while gaining a stronger core, toned muscles, active hips and rhythm!

What Students are saying...

"Thank you for being you!! What you bring to your dance students is so much more than dance. We get to release our expressions in dance, even the ones that hide sometimes. Our breath expands, even our nerves giggle! More length in our muscles and even lightness to our daily stride plus we get to imagine incorporating the dance moves you taught us into our life. There is nothing like a barrel turn to the oven, or some hip slides to the laundry!"

"I’m so grateful for the joy and grace of dance that you share with me and others! It's great to have a living example of how we can be both brainy AND beautiful at the same moment in time! I didn't really believe it could be done! I am enjoying the process SO much!"

"Cris!, I am so grateful to have met you while practicing for Solstice in 2010 with Vanessa and I was in awe of your kindness, beautiful grace and humble personality. I did not even know you were an exquisitely talented and extraordinary Middle Eastern belly dancer. I'm so happy to have a chance to learn from you now (...) Thank you for making me feel welcome in your class in BellyDance Land. I have so much to learn but you make it fun and carefree."
