--Tribal Improvisation: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced
--Tribal Fusion: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced
--Egyptian Belly Dance: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced
--Hip Hop Fusion: Beginner and Intermediate
Classes are limited to a small number of students, allowing for plenty of one-on-one correction and instruction as well as a friendly, community feel. The atmosphere is casual, but don't let that fool you! We work hard! Having entered the bellydance world back in 1993 and started her teaching career in 2003, Christina has the experience and knowledge it takes to bring out the best dancer in each of her students.
Workshops: Eastern Groove offers monthly Sunday afternoon workshops that focus on specific topics within the dance. Occasionally, a guest instructor will teach instead of the Eastern Groove teaching staff. The monthly Sunday workshop series is a great way to supplement your regular dance instruction!
Events and Performances: One of the goals of Eastern Groove is to put a face on bellydance and let the public know about this beautiful art form. Eastern Groove students take part in a twice-yearly Student Show as well as performing at the Martini Room in Elgin every other month. Catch us sometime while we're out and about!
Private Lessons: Looking to work on a specific skill or choreography? Christina and Monica are available to work with you personally and intensively to make sure you get the most out of your dance. Private lessons can be scheduled for one to six students and rates are reasonable, starting at $50 per hour. To book a private lesson, email the studio.
