If This is Your First Class:
Unless you already own finger cymbals and a veil, please wait until after the first class to purchase them. I provide purchasing and veil sewing information (for those who wish to sew a veil) the first night of class.
What to Wear to Class:
   =>TOP: Stretchy exercise top/camisole/half-shirt/t-shirt. A top that will allow you to move your arms and shoulders without restriction.
   =>BOTTOM: Stretchy leggings/harem pants/shorts/skirt. Some students wear pajama bottoms!
   =>FEET: Dance shoes preferred, but not required. Bare feet/socks are acceptable.
What to Bring to Class:
   =>A long scarf, shawl, or hip scarf to wear around your hips.
   =>A notebook for numerous handouts.
   =>Finger Cymbals (unless this is your first class).
   =>Veil (unless this is your first class).
