Haft Vadi Bellydance now specializes in private and semi-private instruction, as well as thematic classes in rhythm and dances from particular parts of the Middle East, such as Egypt, Lebanon and the Persian Gulf region. All classes will include some instruction in the cultural, historical and musical contexts of the dances.
Maybe your office friends, knitting club or book club want to try something new? Then talk to Dharlene about setting up your own customized one-time lesson or a session that you design: choose your own number of weeks, time and content! I can even come to you, perhaps transform your lobby reception area into a dance studio for a night! Just email dharlene@haftvadi.com to start the planning process. Your schedule doesn’t fit bellydance classes? Make the bellydance classes fit YOUR schedule!

Email dharlene AT haftvadi.com to hold a spot! Registration will be done on the first day you come to class. We accept cheques (payable to Dharlene Valeda) or cash. INTERAC e-mail money transfer is also possible using the address dharlene@haftvadi.com. There is NO HST to add to the class prices, we’re a little, modest studio! Also, if you would prefer to pay in installments rather than all at once, that is not a problem at all.
Because different teachers take different approaches, we always recommend that even new students who have already studied elsewhere start in a beginner class. If you will be better suited in an intermediate or advanced class, you’ll be moved up after a week or two.
Registered students should make an effort to come to the regular class they signed up for, since that is best for continuity, but if something comes up and you can’t make it, you’re welcome to come to any other class, including drumming, in order to make it up.
To make sure that everyone can take all of the classes they paid for during the session, we allow students to come to any of the other classes during the week. If you know ahead of time that you won’t be able to make a class, come to a different one the week before, you don’t have to wait until the last week of classes.
If you know that your schedule is very erratic, just use the pay-$15-per-class option. If you do end up being able to make all the classes, your total will not exceed the discounted session price, therefore it’s not more expensive to do the pay-per-class option.
Session registration fees are not transferable to the next session and are not refundable.
Haft Vadi teachers live very close to the studio, and can make it in all kinds of weather, and will probably not cancel. If they do, they will make an effort to contact participants ahead of time. Please ensure that you have provided contact information that makes this possible.
