"You make class so much fun! I'm really happy that we took the plunge to sign up."
- Sarah, student
I'd highly recommend Rosa Noreen — she's a fantastic teacher. I studied veil with her, and her classes completely changed how I feel about the veil (I'm not afraid of it anymore).

Class Descriptions
Beginning I
Open to students of ALL levels, this class introduces students to the fundamentals of belly dance: movement vocabulary, music, finger cymbals.
Rosa teaches muscle-driven movement with a focus on alignment and elegance that will carry over into your daily life.
You do not need any dance experience at all to enjoy this class.
Bring your self, a scarf for your hips, and your sense of fun.
Beginning II
This class is for students with at least one recent session of belly dance fundamentals.
We will explore combinations (learning and creating them!), layering movements, and rhythms on finger cymbals.
Improvisation techniques will help students learn to express the music. A choreography will introduce students to the use of dance in the full arc of a song.
Intermediate
Dancers who have mastered the basics of belly dance are welcome to take this class. Consult with Rosa if you have questions.
The focus is on musicality in dance through improvisation, short combinations and choreography.
We will drill finger cymbals, work on improvisation techniques and the refinement of belly dance skills for performance. Muscle-driven technique is emphasized.
Lunchtime Shimmy
Energize your week! Learn basic belly dance movements to upbeat music and shake the mid-week stress! Open to people of all levels and genders, ages 13+. Start any time, drop-ins welcome.

Make-Up Workshops with Rosa
Learn to apply stage-friendly make-up for belly dance! Basic application techniques are taught--so don't worry if you've never touched an eye pencil before.
After getting comfortable with the basics, we explore various exciting, belly dancer-ly embellishments.
Students learn to comfortably apply eyeliner, use different shades of shadow to add contour & mystery to your eyes, color your lips without "bleeding", refine your performance face--and embellish upon all of these techniques.
This is a BYOM workshop--Bring Your Own Make-up!
Rosa teaches make-up workshops periodically in the Greater Portland area.
