Fusion belly dance is a contemporary art form that merges traditional North Africa and Middle Eastern belly dance with a wide array of styles. This Masterclass will combine belly dance (or raqs sharqi) with movements of hip hop, a US based dance form. Participants will explore beginner fundamentals of hip hop dance and belly dance technique, then learn a combination that fuses and explores similarities in movement vocabulary and creative expression. This class is for beginners in both dance styles.

This class is part of our Master Class Series, which offers free dance instruction to NC State students, staff and faculty. Advanced registration is FREE and highly recommended.
