Junior Academy: Kids Dance

The Los Angeles Bellydance Academy has developed a special dance program designed for ages 7 to 17. This class can be attended by any dancer regardless of previous dance experience.

Pick up your passport and take a magical journey around the world.  Dance provides us with joy, creativity, and discipline. Together we will all share this beautiful art form and its benefits together.

Dance Around the World promotes world arts and culture through the experience of dance for children. Each week we will explore new dance steps from all around the world with a curriculum designed by our very own World Dance experts.  While music fills the air we will dance, play games, and explore your world both inside and out.

Students will study raqs sharki which is commonly called belly dance as well as folkloric dances native to the middle east region.  Participation in dance activities promotes mental  wellness, physical coordination, and positive social interactions.   We will be dancing around the world together, learning proper dance technique, music comprehension, and history.
