SSBD Level 2 trains students in the fundamentals of Suhaila’s format. Students continue their muscle development and body awareness while increasing the precision, efficiency and fluidity of their movements. Belly dance layering concepts are introduced in the warm-up, and foot patterns learned from Dance Movement are layered with all belly dance movements, full, half, and quartertime during drills. Doubletime singles and ¾s are also introduced during the drilling section of class, as well as additional music theory and cymbals.
