Get ready to shimmy! We break down essential belly dance basics like figure 8s and undulations, making sure you feel strong, confident, and totally at home in your own body.
Let's get up close with the magic of shimmies! This is the heart of belly dance, and the energy my students bring every weekend is just incredible. It’s like a secret dance party for the soul.
Who needs a dance partner when you have a wall? We use the wall to help us master those tricky horizontal figure 8s. It’s a great tool for finding the right posture and muscle engagement, and we always have a few laughs doing it.
Check out this twist shimmy floor work! This move requires serious quad strength, and I'm so proud of how these beginners are nailing it. It shows their amazing dedication and progress.
This is our quirky and challenging sitting Chu Chu Shimmy! It’s a fantastic drill that combines a duck walk with a fast-paced shimmy, perfect for building lower body strength and adding personality to your dance.
Ever tried a Runner Shimmy? We were just out for a run when... surprise shimmy time! This is a great exercise to learn shimmies faster because when you're moving, you stop overthinking and just let your body flow.

Watch my students master the hip box and then transition seamlessly into a luscious interior hip circle. It’s so rewarding to see them nail these foundational movements with such grace.
Layering is where the real fun begins! In this class, we were juggling chest undulations, hip figure 8s, and hip undulations all at once. It’s a great challenge for the mind and body.
About Core Belly Dance Techniques
Ever wonder how we master those tricky hip figure 8s without feeling like a tangle of nerves? We actually use the studio walls to help you find your posture and isolate your muscles correctly. It is exactly how we turn 'I have two left feet' into a smooth, hypnotic flow, and honestly, you will be surprised at how quickly your body gets the rhythm.
Belly dance is way more than just steps—it is about finding your rhythm and letting your soul shine. At Azaya, we focus on the core techniques that make the dance look effortless. Whether we are drilling the 'Chu Chu Shimmy' or practicing clean undulations, our sessions are all about muscle control and body confidence.
Why Our Approach Works
We specialize in Indian fusion belly dance. This means we take classical moves and mix them with the high-energy vibe of Bollywood and traditional belly dance foundations. You are not just learning to dance; you are building core strength, coordination, and a serious dose of self-love.
What You Will Master
- Isolation drills: We spend time on hips and chests so you can control specific muscles.
- The Basics: Figure 8s, camels, and shimmies that form the foundation of Raqs Sharqi and other styles.
- Prop Play: Once you have the core down, we bring in veils, cymbals, and swords to add that extra layer of drama.
Our studios in Jayanagar, Malleshwaram, and Sahakarnagar are designed to be your happy place. We use suspended flooring to protect your knees and keep the vibe judgment-free. Whether you are a total beginner who has never danced or someone looking to refine their technique, my girls and I are ready to welcome you into our squad. It is not just about getting toned—it is about finding your tribe and having a blast while you are at it. Come join a weekend batch and let’s get moving together!
