Belly Dance Technique & Fusion — 6-Week Series Starts Sept 28

About this event

Join international belly dance performer and instructor **Erica Rivera** for a six-week progressive **Belly Dance Technique & Fusion** series at Backstage Studios Orlando. This open-level class is designed to be accessible to complete beginners while also offering valuable cross-training for dancers with experience in other styles. Throughout the series, we’ll work with foundational belly dance technique including posture and alignment, isolations, hip work, shimmies, torso movement, arms and upper-body technique, traveling steps, layering, musicality, and combinations. Rather than simply copying shapes, we’ll focus on understanding **how movements are generated in the body**, building greater control, coordination, fluidity, and movement awareness. Erica’s background spans traditional belly dance and contemporary fusion, with training and influences across a variety of movement styles. The series will build progressively from week to week while remaining approachable for different experience levels. **Dates:** Mondays, September 28–November 2 **Time:** 7:00–8:15 PM **Location:** Backstage Studios Orlando 4677 LB McLeod Rd, Suite I Orlando, FL 32811 **6-week series:** $120 *Drop-ins available after launch.* Advance registration is encouraged. The six-week series is designed progressively, so attending the full series will provide the most complete experience. **Please note:** Meetup may display this event as “Free,” but RSVP’ing on Meetup does not register you for the class.
