This class will reinforce the basics of women's style Raqs Assaya and will move on to a full choreography featuring popular cane moves and exciting combinations. For intermediate level students, this class completes the 6th module of intermediate Belly Dance training. All classes will include floor exercises for core strength.  Each class will begin with core strengthening exercises.
