Middle Eastern Dance @ PWG is a semester-long weekly dance class with
something for everyone, whether you've never danced before or would like to
solidify your technique.
Hour-long classes will include warm-ups, technique instruction, combinations
and more primarily taught in the Egyptian, Egyptian Cabaret, and American
Cabaret style (also known as Danse Orientale, Belly Dance, or Raqs Sharqui).
Information about rhythms and musical styles, dance history and different
dance styles will be incorporated into the semester’s material. Class
members will learn a full-length choreography and will have the option of
performing it at the Yale Belly Dance Society’s annual gala show in April
(performance is not obligatory!).

Registration is done through Payne Whitney Gym at the beginning of the term.
