About this class

In this Part 2 series you will continue to learn combinations in Belly Dance and Latin Fusion that will prepare you for a Spanish-influenced dance choreography coming up to the Online Studio this Spring. This session is being offered on a hybrid format: on-demand and in-person classes.

Part 2 session will be immediately followed by a new session starting in April, where we will begin learning the full choreography, also in a hybrid format. There will also be a performance opportunity for students who complete Parts 1 & 2 and join the upcoming choreography program. Super-duper exciting!

You'll need a full circle skirt (25-yard preferable) to practice some fun skirt work. Some 25-yard skirt vendor suggestions below:

🌟 If you plan to perform the full choreography with the BDL Team please choose only from solid colors, except for white or black.

This is a more advanced intermediate class and assumes previous belly dance and Latin styles experience. Beginner students are encouraged to join either membership tier to start learning the foundation first. Also a Beginner Veil class is being offered simultaneously in our Online Studio and in-person. Check it out!

How to participate in this session

The Latin-Arabic Fusion - Part 2 is being offered in a hybrid format: recorded lessons in the Online Studio and in-person classes in Santa Barbara, CA. Each lesson will be released in the Online Studio first and, one week later, it will be reviewed at the in-person class. At the end of this session there will be a free zoom class to review the entire Part 2 with Cris!

This series is a continuation of what we started in January with the Part 1 Intensive. Attendance to Part 1 is not required to participate in Part 2 but it is strongly recommended that students catch up with the recorded content as we will only review it in our first class on March 8th. Plus completion of Part 1 is mandatory for students who wish to participate in the upcoming Choreography Program (including a future performance) starting in April.

Here's a quick summary on how the current session will work:
  • First you must join the BDL Online Studio's Sparkle Tier.
  • The LAF Combos - Part 2 course starts on 3/1/23 with the release of Class 1 in the Online Studio. We will review this lesson in our first in-person class on 3/8. 
  • A new class will be released every week for 4-weeks total in March and, subsequently, reviewed in the following week at the in-person class.
  • First in-Person class is on 3/8 at the SSBA studio, 6:15 pm. In-person classes are optional and require additional registration (see below).
  • On the last week of March there will be a free Online class via Zoom with Cris! for all Sparkle Tier members to review the entire Part 2. Date and time TBD soon.
  • Students will have access to this session for as long as they are a Sparkle member.

What Students are saying...

"I really enjoyed the on demand! for my current schedule. I was able to practice in the afternoon and the access was perfect! (...) I think it is a great idea for on-demand people like myself, who are struggling with wanting to attend classes but are, at times, too bogged down with work to make it to class. It is a great option. Thank you for offering it."

Nancy Hilberg

BDL Student

"Also, your full choreography video for Fusion Class is JUST FANTASTIC! I have been using it to work on the sections that I'm still struggling with, and it is SO helpful! Having the skirt AND no-skirt versions was such a good idea! It has answered so many questions! I hope other students are using it because I know it would be helpful to them as well. Now, I just have to keep practicing!"

Noelle

BDL Student

"One of the main blessings for me during the pandemic times has been taking your classes and learning from you in a sustained way. I enjoy your teaching and your choreographies. They have a rhythm that I just feel and once I get in the groove it’s so satisfying and so much fun! You break things down so well and make sure no one is left behind. Your teaching style is light-hearted, loving, encouraging, elegant, buoyed by your good sense of humor."
