bellydance instruction
kendra's drop-in beginners' class happens mondays at 8pm, and the all-levels drills class happens every wednesday at 7pm. a typical lesson starts with some good stretching, then quickly moves on to egyptian and tribal technique drills geared to the individual student's needs. we might work on zills (finger cymbals), veil, floorwork or even sword balancing before finishing up with a little cool-down yoga. kendra especially enjoys coaching students through choreographing and practicing for performance.
rates are as follows:
- beginners' class (mondays 8pm) = $10
- all-levels drills class (wednesdays 7pm) = pay what you can
- private lessons $40 per hour
- semi-private lessons (2 to 4 students) $20 per person per hour

krisha says: "before i took belly dancing with kendra, i had taken belly lessons with several other instructors here in seattle. kendra is by far the best! everything she teaches is physically challenging (what a great workout!), beautiful and makes you feel accomplished and empowered. i'm proud to refer my own clients to her."
alannah says: "i have been taking belly dance lessons from kendra on and off for over two years. for the first year, i would go twice a week because i loved it so much! kendra is a wonderful teacher, always patient and full of praise."
