December Bellydance Pop-up
Date: December 19 at 7 pm | Location: TAOU Studio
3122 W Cary St #220, Richmond, VA 23221
Classes are sliding scale: $15-30.
This fun, beginner-friendly class invites you to explore the rich and evolving art of bellydance (raqs sharqi) in a body-positive, inclusive space. This pop-up combines accessible technique with playful combos, encouraging self-expression and confidence at every level—no experience necessary.
More than just movement, this class offers a culturally respectful introduction to the history and context of bellydance, helping students connect with the deeper roots of the art form and its global community.
"I learned so much more than I expected from this class about history and styles of belly dance. I also feel like I connected with a new community."

FAQ
What Should I Wear?
Wear something comfortable and easy to move around in, like a t-shirt, tank top, and stretch pants. Hip scarves are provided, but you are welcome to bring your own.
Feel free to dance in bare feet, socks, ballet slippers or non-marking rubber-soled jazz shoes.
Do I need to wear a mask?
Masks are optional. The studio is spacious, allowing for physical distancing, as needed. If you are not feeling well, please stay home and rest!
What if there is Bad Weather?
I will post on social media and email students if class is canceled due to bad weather. I follow Richmond City Public School closings.
Do you have Scholarship Opportunities?
Yes. At Electric Nomad, we believe deeply that income should not be a barrier to dance. Scholarship opportunities are available for each session. Please email radical.shimmies@gmail.com to learn more.
