° ABOUT CADIZ

° CLASSES

Vintage Bellydance: what we offer?

“Coming from the ‘Golden Era of Bellydance’ spanning the 50’s trough the 70’s, Vintage-style bellydance has mystique and an irresistible lyricism that beat both the technical sophistication and the dramatic showmanship of modern belly dance styles.

The vintage style refects the music of that era, far more melodic than percussive.”

We go back a little more in time, our “Vintage Style” fuses dances from the 20’s-40’s with Oriental Bellydance.

During this retreat we focus on the Charleston mixed with Tribal Fusion and ATS, wich will result in a highly joyful and slightly seductive atmospheric dance!

Music used during classes: electro swing & oriental beats!

° TEACHERS

? LEVEL ?

This retreat is NOT an introduction to bellydance, so we advice our students to have a basic in bellydance/tribal fusion!

As there is this great opportunity to perform on the streets of Cadiz, any experience in bellydance technique is require (but no experience in performing needed).
