Beginner’s Belly Dance Series

Join Kalidasi for our first in-person class series at the new studio in Middleton! Beginners Belly Dance is an empowering (and fun!) 6-week series that focuses on teaching foundational movements and posture, building a strong base for more complex technique. Classes will introduce and refine basic isolations like shoulder rolls, chest isolations, hip movements (slides, twists, drops, lifts, figure 8s, and shimmies), and traveling moves. Emphasis is placed on proper posture, musicality, and common belly dance drum rhythms. Choreography is introduced gradually, combining these basic movements.

Students will complete this 6 week series with a foundational understanding of core belly dance movements and a small choreography that weaves it all together! Perfect for the total beginner or more seasoned dancers looking to brush up on their foundational technique. 

Yogic Dance (Opening Night!)

A dance flow class rooted in yogic and vedic wisdom. For over a thousand years in India — and many places around the world — Sacred, devotional dance was seen as one of the highest offerings one could give to the Divine. It embodied the entire wisdom of the Vedas as expressed through human movement. With this practice, the dancer experiences the energy flow from the Divine Realms through the body, as well as touching upon the innate personal power that is our birthright. Through sacred dance, the practitioner can experience greater connection, balance, and peace within the self and the external world.

3-4PM Belly Dance with Intention with Kalidasi Burgess

Modern Temple Dance Monthly Lab: INVOKE

In-voke (verb): to call upon or put into effect something or someone; to ask for help from a higher power, like invoking God for inspiration, or to put a law or rule into action.

 Creating order from chaos. Peace out of discord. Unselfishness beyond greed. Respect to surmount insults. To call in a better world, we invoke the powers of our Higher Selves to remind us (and each other) that we are responsible for creating it. Beyond pointing fingers of right and wrong and division based on petty differences, dance comes as a Universal Language to remind us all that humankind ultimately desires the same thing: Peace, Safety, Self-Expression, Purpose.

 Sacred dance helps us to transcend beyond the conscious mind and negative ego and allows us to tap into our true power. Through that we can invoke the Universal energies of Love that expresses itself through many names and many actions, ultimately always leading us back to balance and harmony both within ourselves and the collective.

 In each MTD lab, we learn how to use dance as a form of self-healing and of global service through a powerful and easy-to-use format. This two and a half hour workshop offers step by step instruction on how to open the body up safely to flow energy in order to express the language of the dancer’s inner world. You will learn how to use this energy for yourself and others through exploring the step by step process to create your own sacred dance. Each monthly consists of energetic clearing practices, belly dance and Indian temple dance drills, a theory portion featuring a Hermetic teaching based on the theme of the month, and conclude with a short sacred dance combination that ties it all together.

 October’s theme is: INVOKE. We will explore how to use sacred dance to embody and direct a personal healing request through physical movement. Exercises and a sacred dance combination called the “Invoke Pathway” will be taught so that the dancer can experience how to safely do this. We will conclude with an Exploration Lab where students will have the opportunity to create their own personal dance and share it with the class.
