Goddess Rhythms Belly Dance celebrates a return to the sacred origins of dance, connecting with each other and with the divine through movement that celebrates femininity and sensuality. We welcome all ages, sizes, cultures, seeing the Goddess in each other and all women.

The Goddess is the feminine aspect of the divine, the part of us that is deeply connected to the earth and the rhythms of nature, and life. We dance to experience that connection, as a way of living in harmony with these rhythms of life, healing and empowering one another.

Like dance forms from ancient times, we dance to celebrate the seasons of nurturing and growth, abundant harvest, reflection and release, and the planting of new seeds. We dance to create healing, to tell the story of the 'God and Goddess', to pass on the wisdom of women from one generation to another.

Calgary:

( Classes in Calgary are presented at Errahs Inglewood Loft)

Beginner Classes: Beginner level is appropriate for the dancer with little or no experience. We learn a foundation of technique, posture and poise, working with the body to isolate movements and perform them safely and correctly. Movement is broken down, explained, and repeated. Each student is given one-on-one assistance and correction. As we progress through different movements we learn to integrate them into combinations, so that everyone is able to participate in improvisational dance early on.

Intermediate Classes: This is a technique based class with a faster pace, more combinations, a greater emphasis on traveling and layering of movement, and a greater difficulty in the moves being taught. Beginner moves will be reviewed on an as needed basis only. Intermediate level is appropriate for the dancer with a minimum of one year experience with Goddess Rhythms. Students in this class have a range of experience from 1-3 years belly dance experience. Please check with Errah specifically if you have any questions as to whether this level is appropriate for you.
