Description of Silver Shimmies Somatic Bellydance

Somatic Bellydance Sessions for Seniors (with modified moves for physical limitations)

Silver Shimmies is a gentle series of 6 weekly classes with Keti Sharif, delivered online in Aug-Sep 2020 as pre-recorded video classes.

Silver Shimmies is a 45 minute Somatic Bellydance Class ideal for Seniors or those with Physical Limitations. You will be taught safe Somatic & Bellydancing movements with specific modifications for particular common issues; namely shoulder, back, hip, knee or foot/ankle limitations.

We work on gently stimulating the lymphatic system, moving the body through many planes of movement in flowing sequences and building flexibility whilst improving health and wellbeing. Each week we begin the class with a specific focus on each of the six levels of ‘total body connectivity’, so you will learn more about Somatics for wellbeing.

Once you receive each weekly class, delivered on Fridays throughout Aug-Sep 2020 – all 6 x classes are yours to keep for good. You can access or download these video classes at any time so you can cycle and repeat the series, or choose specific sessions at any time.

You do not need to be a senior to enjoy these classes.
