Barcelona Dance classes for women

Blog: Barcelona travel and culture - 16 September 2009

By: Paul

Barcelona is a vibrant city that offers classes and entertainment of every kind. There is a variety of courses and classes which involve dance for locals and for tourists and some new additions include Belly dancing and pole dancing.

Belly Dance in Barcelona - In Barcelona you can find many belly dance courses. Every gym and every cultural centre in this Mediterranean city, nowadays has its own belly dance course. Some belly dance teachers in Barcelona include Aida, Cecile and Munique Neith, who runs a bellydance academy in the centre of the city and organises a yearly international belly dance festival. The 3rd edition of the belly dance festival in Barcelona took place this year in February and featured famous Egyptian dance teachers, such as Raqia Hassan and Dr. Mo Goddawi.

In addition to Egyptian belly dance being so famous in Barcelona, you can also find courses on zambra mora, or flamenco belly dance fusion. This style was born in Spain but is now taught all over the world and it sums up together the passion of Spain with the freedom of belly dance.
Pole Dancing classes - This is aimed at hen party groups and thus tends to take place over the course of a few hours and as a one off event. This is an event which has been popular here in Barcelona of late and seems to get people laughing. Several companies seem to offer this event now such as Barcelona Events.
