The Magic of a Silk Veil
is Within Your Grasp
A dancer's dream
There is nothing like the soft, ethereal flow of silk; especially as an ultimate feminine expression in your dance.

Interest in Karima's gorgeous hand dyed silk veils is growing; and they fly off their hangers quickly!

Each veil is its own unique creation to add to your elegant bedlah. They are made from real Habotai or China Silk, durable yet lightweight, and available in either rectangle or half-circle shapes.

With every colour you can imagine, the perfect veil of your dreams is waiting 4U!

ANNUAL RECITAL EVERY JUNE FOR ALL STUDENTS WISHING TO PARTICIPATE
Registration:

Please pre-register at least a week in advance of the start date (email ancientmoves@rogers.com for details). Belly dance is a very unique, cherished art form. We therefore have a strict policy about our class sizes: no less than four participants, no more than nine. As a result, you and your dancing are given the proper attention you deserve. Last minute arrivals to the group may be shifted to another time slot if the class has already reached its maximum size.
To register, please email ancientmoves@rogers.com or call (519) 32-9666
We accept email money transfer and PayPal.
We also accept cash or cheque with completed registration form (provided).
To register in person, the studio is open Monday to Thursday from 6:15 to 9:00 and Saturdays from 10:00 am to 12:30.

Location:

We are conveniently located just off the highway 403 at 198 Paris Road, Brantford.

What to wear:

It is important to wear movable, breathable clothing while you exercise. In otherwords, what you usually put on when you workout. It has always been that simple! As students become more advanced, they may opt to "dress the part" and wear a flare skirt and/or hip scarf with coins (there are coined hip scarves for sale just about anywhere now but you can also get high quality products at the studio). No one is ever forced to wear or buy anything they don't want.
Belly dance is generally done in bare feet but dance slippers or suede bottom shoes are permitted.
