A beginner's introductory Egyptian belly dance course will run for 6 weeks at Onchan Morton Hall starting 10am Saturday 13 September. Advance booking is required, follow the link below for more details .  Please note that the course will only run if we have sufficient numbers so don't leave it too late! Bookings need to be in by 10 September at the very latest. Full payment of £30 for the course is due at or before the first class. Price includes a music cd so you can practise at home and notes to help you remember the moves. If you decide to join Hediya after the end of the course your first regular class is free and you will  be eligible for member's discount on the workshop.

Other regular classes are aimed at improver/intermediate level and are not suitable for beginners.

Workshops or other special events may occasionally replace a class, and are priced individually as shown. Some but not all will be open level, see below for details.

All venues are open at least 20 minutes before each class or workshop, please use this rather than class time to meet & greet and get changed so as not to disrupt the classes which will start promptly.
