 Step dances can be solo dances, or for two or more dancers. A step dance consists typically of some 6 or 8 steps of 8 bars, often ending with a chorus or “close”. The individual movements and steps recur frequently in many dances and show the combined influences of the Scottish, French and Irish traditions. This dance is fun and energetic! We can't wait to share it with you!

​  This style of bellydance involves group improvisation. ITS is performed by dancers consisting of one or more “leaders” with “followers” making up the group. They rely on a shared vocabulary of movements initiated by the leader using distinct cues. The cue guides the followers into performing short choreographed sequences or combos. The leader is guided by the music, often spontaneously, at a dance event. The result is a style that appears to be choreographed but is actually structured improvisation.
