The summer schedule at Saffron is up and registration is open! :)
I will be continuing my beginner and advanced classes at Saffron, and starting June 24th, will be adding an upper level ATS class at Saffron.
The class beginning June 24th will be an 8-week session for people who already know belly dance, and just want to learn the ATS technique, movements and performance format. We will start in this class from your firm foundation in belly dance and add the ATS technique to your skill set.
