A Few Reminders :

· Please be courteous of others and turn your cell phone off or silent. Put your personal belongings in a bag.

· All classes begin with a warm up to stretch and strengthen core muscles used in belly dance. If you arrive late, quietly warm up in the back of the class prior to joining to help prevent pulling or straining muscles.

· Work at your own pace. Do not do anything that causes you pain. If you have any preexisting injuries or physical limitations, or if you are pregnant, consult with your doctor before taking classes.
