Belly Dance Performance Course
with Rhea Raqs

Starting January 10, 2026
Saturdays • 11:30 AM

Step into a course that’s built for dancers who want something exciting to work toward. Belly Dance Performance Course with Rhea Raqs is a 6-week progressive series at ATOMIC Ballroom in Irvine where you’ll train your technique, learn a full group choreography, and build the kind of confident stage presence that makes performing feel fun instead of intimidating. This isn’t a “drop in and forget it” class—this is a focused, supportive performance experience where you grow each week, bond with your group, and finish with a real moment to celebrate your progress.

Why This Course Is For You

This course is a great fit if you’ve been craving motivation, community, and a clear goal. Performing gives your practice a purpose—you’ll stay consistent, improve faster, and feel the excitement of creating something together. It’s also perfect if you’ve ever thought, “I want to perform someday, but I don’t know how to start.” You’ll get a structured path, guidance, and a team vibe that makes the whole process feel approachable and empowering. If you’re interested in performing for fun, exploring friendly competition, or participating in community events, this course helps you build the skills and confidence to say “yes” when opportunities pop up.

What You’ll Learn

Over the 6 weeks, you’ll work on:

  • Belly dance technique and cleaner movement fundamentals
  • Musicality and rhythm awareness to make your dancing feel intentional and alive
  • Group choreography that teaches spacing, timing, and performance clarity
  • Stage presence and confidence—how to project, commit, and enjoy being seen
  • Performance readiness so you feel prepared, not panicked

The Week 6 Performance

The best part: at the end of Week 6, your group will have the chance to perform together at an ATOMIC Ballroom social dance. It’s a supportive, celebratory environment—perfect for a first performance or a fun return to the stage. You’ll walk away with stronger skills, a better understanding of what it means to perform, and a memory you’ll be proud of.

If you’re ready to train with purpose, feel amazing in your dancing, and share a performance moment with a team, sign up for the Belly Dance Performance Course with Rhea Raqs and let’s get you stage-ready.
