Middle Eastern Dance Classes

The Cassandra School is dedicated to serving the needs of its students and the art of Middle Eastern dance. Year-round classes are offered at three locations in 10-week sessions. The school offers five different levels from beginner to professional. Because of the cumulative nature of the classes, first-time beginner students may only enroll during the first 3 weeks of a new session. All continuing students are welcome on a drop-in basis. On-going and transfer students are expected to master the material of the current level and are encouraged to consult with the teacher for assistance in proper placement and/or advancement.
