Rio Vista Session Four: Week One

Stunning work from the gals at Rio Vista Recreation Center in Peoria! I am always so proud after a class, of the students. So many levels, so many shapes and sizes and ages. These women astound me!

This session starts out with another packed class. Sixteen students. Wow! I always hope all of them stay on and continue until the next session.

This week the ladies learned the power of posture. As soon as they walk in the door of the classroom, no matter who they are in the rest of the world, they are belly dancers to me. Heads held high, tummies tucked, feet and arms light and body and soul lifted. They are ready to move. Though it is difficult to teach so many in a class we covered posture, windows, two important lessons every basics student should start with.

Rio Vista gals also learned the basic hip bump walk, a cross step, shoulder rolls, and chest pops. I hope they practice hard this week and are sore for all the right reasons by next Wednesday.

Thank you ladies! You make AdeebA proud!
