Belly dance is fun and exciting but it can also be hard work.  Please wear comfortable clothes that you can move around in.  It is often helpful to have a hip scarf to visually separate the upper body from the lower body and emphasize the hip work.  If you don't have a scarf Melody can provide one during class.  Shoes, although not a requirement, are also a good idea since there is a modest amount of turning and traveling (a ballet slipper, thin soled jazz shoe, foot undies, or even house shoe should work).  To purchase shoes online visit Discount Dance.  You can also visit your local dance shop.
