Bellydance


Hi Troupe!

This academic year we get a budget from the student union enabling us to offer cheaper rates to our members and more activities than in our first year!! Lessons will resume at the start of term, we will hold a stall at Freshers' Fayre (OCTOBER 3rd 2007) to sign up for lessons and also will be holding additional sign up sessions for non-freshers and former members- everyone is welcome! I'm pleased to be introducing a new class: Drills for stomach, hips and thighs- let's tone up! Email me on lvu05ik@reading.ac.uk or drop me a message on this group forum!

Check out our facebook group (www.facebook.com): University of Reading Bellydance Society. We have loads of photos posted up, videos coming soon and you get the latest events/lesson updates there- please join! (please note: available only to University of Reading facebook network members). Alternatively, drop me an email at lvu05ik@reading.ac.uk or drop into one of our lessons if you have any questions.

DO NOT FORGET!!! FRESHERS' FAYRE (OCTOBER 3RD!) to sign up for lessons !! WE WILL ALSO will be holding additional sign up sessions for non-freshers and former members!!! Place and time to be confirmed!
