Tuesday September 21, 2010  Arrive as early as 7pm.  Class begins 7:30pm and is approximately 1 hour long.

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.

Galena is sorry to say that for now there will be no new class sessions starting in 2010.  Galena is taking some time off of teaching to focus on her growing family.  Stay posted for when classes will resume.  Having had 2 children before she knows just how much goes into having a new born and balancing the new family schedule so she doesn’t want to make any guarantees that classes will start in January.

If you would like to be added to her email list so you will find when classes resume then please send a quick note to Galena at galenadance@verizon.net.

Thank you all for understanding. She is really sad to have to suspend teaching.

Well Galena is sorry to say that for now there will be no new class sessions starting.  Galena is currently in the last trimester of her 3rd pregnancy and has taken some time off of teaching to focus on her growing family.  Stay posted for when classes will resume.  Having had 2 children before she knows just how much goes into having a new born so she doesn’t want to make any guarantees that classes will start in the fall.

If you would like to be added to her email list so you will find when classes resume then please send a quick note to Galena at galenadance@verizon.net.

Thank you all for understanding. She is really sad to have to suspend teaching.  She will update here when the baby comes.  Her baby girl is due on June 19th, 2010.

Galena’s class session will run January 18th through Feb 22, 2010.  If you are a current student or had been looking forward to a future session with Galena then please let her know and she can hopefully help you find another instructor to study with until she is back.

Galena and family are very excited about the upcoming events but at the same time very sad to say a temporary goodbye to her students.

New Beginner/Adv. Beginner Veil Classes starting September 21, 2009 through October 26th!  If there is enough interest this session we will split it into 2 classes.  Since the session ends right around Halloween so we are going to do some fun fusion for the holiday.
