Stay Fit & Healthy at Home with Tandava Arts Bellydance Fitness Classes AND Raise Funds to Fight COVID-19
Stay Healthy & Help Others!
Tandava Arts is committed to supporting our community by donating proceeds from our online bellydance/fitness classes to COVID-19 relief funds.
Bellydance is great for fitness in small places! If you have 2'x3' of space in your home, then our online classes are perfect for you!
Moves are aerobic and isolated, working your core, legs, arms, even your neck, hands and fingers!
And you can help yourself and help others, because proceeds from our online classes will go to Covid-19 Relief funds, so you can stay healthy and help others. (Details below.)
- Mondays 7pm — SharQui the Bellydance Workout Level 2
- Fridays 7pm — SharQui the Bellydance Workout Level 1
- Sundays 3pm — Basic Bellydance Technique & Choreography
Our drop-in price has been reduced to $10, with half-price and full-price discounts available for those affected financially by the Covid-19 crisis.
