Classes at DWJ expose students to the music, culture, and movements present in the dances of the Middle East and North Africa. Whether you decide to take weekly classes, specialty workshops, or private instruction, you will find our classes offer a welcoming atmosphere and one-on-one attention. All are welcome regardless of age, gender, or dance ability.

Class Attire

~ Clothing should be comfortable and allow for a wide range of movement. Examples include dance pants and tops, leotard and tights, or sweats and t-shirts. Long, wide skirts may be worn if with leggings underneath. No jeans or short skirts.

~ Barefoot is recommended. Dance shoes provide more support, and dance paws minimize friction for those who need it. No heels allowed.

~ Scarves, coin belts, beaded sashes, sarongs, and more can be used to tie around your hips. Ensure coins and beads are secure to avoid shedding.
