What do I need to know when taking a workshop with Galena?

  1. Wear comfortable clothes that are loose fitting enough so they do not hinder movement.  Yoga pants, sweat pants, T-shirt, Tank top, sports bra, etc.
  2. Bring water to keep hydrated – expect to sweat some especially in summer
  3. Bring a scarf, hip scarf  or coin belt so you can tie it around your hips.  It makes it easier to see or hear the movement. It is ok if you don’t have one.
  4. Have fun!  No one here is going to be an expert their first night.
  5. Everyone else here is learning just like you.  Don’t be self conscious.  Let go and enjoy yourself.

Can minors attend class?

Anyone 12 to 112 can attend bellydance classes but they must be paying, registered students.  We will try to schedule a mother/daughter or mother/baby class at another time. This is MOM’s NIGHT OUT! It is not suggested that you bring your children to just play in the corner while you learn.  It is a distraction to you, the other students and Galena while she is instructing.

Can I just come to watch?

No, spectators are not allowed in the classroom once class has started.  If you would like to pay for the workshop and then just sit and watch that is fine.  But it is not fair to the other students who are learning for you to watch them.  People often feel uncomfortable when learning something new.
