Keiki BellyDance Classes
Available in Heaven (Mauna Lea Manor in Holualoa) The teen students of Incense named the studio Heaven and so the name has stuck
Just for the little ones 12 and under. Kids love the beautiful music and the playful movements and of course, the fun costumes! Kids will learn the dance moves through playing a series of stimulating games that help them build balance, coordination, and musicality. They feel like they are playing but by the end of the session they have become elegant, confident little dancers. Bellydance is a great introduction for learning to dance because it is forgiving and accepting of a vast variety of body types so children never feel like they don't "fit the mold". One can begin at ANY fitness level and feel very successful quite quickly, which is a very gratifying experience for young children. For each move that the children learn they receive a tassel for their belts and this system allows them to literally wear their success; it is a visual marker of their achievements and a source of pride. This class is structured to encourage positive self-esteem and celebrate diversity. Available upon request for a group of 4 or more.

Pre/Post Natal/ Mommy & Me Classes
It is possible to request a class catering to just pregnant mothers, new mothers, or mothers of toddlers exclusively but a combined class is also possible if your group is at a variety of stages of motherhood. All of the exercises are gentle, low impact dance movements combined with yoga stretches. For those with babies, we use our little ones as weights and they are our dance partners as we dance ourselves into shape. For toddlers we include them by giving them simple supporting moves to do while we work on more challenging variations and they get to feel very involved in helping us create a beautiful dance as a group. BellyDancing during motherhood is an excellent way to find support amongst other mothers during this phase of life and learn excellent exercises that help to strengthen the muscles you need most to bring baby into the world and carry baby around till you are chasing baby around! It can be a very special time in your life to try something new, pamper yourself, and cultivate a love for your changing body. Available upon request with a minimum of 4 participants.
