Class Basis
All of my weekly classes are on a drop-in basis; you neither need to book
nor pay in advance. However, this does mean that I cannot predict numbers
attending any particular class. Once a class is full, no further students
can be admitted; so please arrive early, to avoid disappointment (and to
make sure that you take part in the warm-up before commencing any dance
movements).
Return to start of General
Information
What to wear
Most beginners wear T-shirt and skirt or leggings - something loose, cool
& comfortable; and we are preferably barefoot. A hip-belt accentuates
hip movements and most beginners find this advantageous; hip-belts are available
for purchase at most of my classes.

Information
Men in
classes
My classes are usually all-female. However, I have always allowed
male dancers on request, at my own discretion. I always check with my female
students before permitting a male dancer to join the class.
In particular, many Moslem ladies are not permitted, because of their religion,
to take part in a dance class if there is a man in the room (even if he is
not dancing), so I cannot allow males to take part if there are such objections.
My classes at DanceWorks are frequently accompanied by a drummer - who is
male.
I do not categorise transexuals as "males" in this instance, provided that
they are now clearly "female", and I am happy for them to join my classes.
I run private classes for any group of dancers, male, female or mixed. Classes
for males only can be traditional (i.e "female") bellydancing, middle-eastern
male belly dancing (Saidi etc.), or a mixture of the
2.

Currency of venue
information
We try to keep this site as up-to-date as possible,
but please check before attending any class, as some venues close during
holiday periods (all close for 2 or 3 weeks at Christmas) and venues and
times may change without notice due to circumstances beyond our control.

Information
Class Teacher
All classes are normally led personally by Jacqueline;
however, in exceptional circumstances, one of Jacqueline's professional standard
students may lead a class. If it is critical for you to be taught by
Jacqueline, please check before attending the class.

Information
Costumes &
Accesories
Costumes, hip-belts, veils etc., are sometimes available
for purchase at Jacqueline's classes. If you may require such items,
please call Jacqueline the day before the class to check whether she will
have suitable items with her at that particular class.
