Tuesday in the Ida Noyes Library:
7:30pm Intro to Social Hip-Hop with Chandni
8:30pm Fusion Belly Dance with Chandni

Both classes will be taught by Chandni in the Ida Noyes Library.

No Experience is necessary, and you do not need a dance partner to attend. Both classes are 8-week courses and are therfore $32 with UC ID and $40 for all others. If you would like to try the first class it is $5.

All Tuesday classes are $32 for the 8-week sequence with UC ID, $49 all others. If you would like to try the first class it is $5.

Quarterly Membership:
Quarterly membership is available. It is $60 for with UCID, $70 all others. Membership can admit you to all classes, workshops, and parties. However, this does not mean you can skip sequences. Memberships may be revoked if membership rules are broken.

Memberships can only be purchased during the first 3 weeks of the quarter. All membership requests must be made with Gal Oppenheimer either in person or via email to blda@uchicago.edu. You cannot purchase a membership from any instructor.


Proper Attire:
Clothing:
Please wear comfortable clothing. Skirts or dresses are not required.
Shoes:
We strongly recommend you dance in heels (for girls) and shoes with little traction (for guys). This is not required, but recommended. However, no flip-flops or shoes with an open back. This is due to safety concerns. If you dance in shoes with an open back, you will most likely severely twist your ankle. If you spin in flip-flops, you can injure yourself and on occasion break your flip-flops.

If you would like information on where to purchase dance shoes, please speak to any of the instructors.
