Performing Arts   

We are so excited to welcome you into a space where you can connect with your body and experience the grace and joy of belly dance. This course offers a fun, dynamic workout where you will master essential movement techniques like precise body isolations, fluid hip work, graceful sways, and energetic shimmies. Each session provides a supportive and welcoming environment where you can build grounded movement, deeper body awareness, and a radiant sense of confidence. Ultimately, this expressive class is all about bringing joy to your routine, helping you feel good in your own skin, and unlocking your creative potential through dance.
Please wear comfortable clothes and shoes (optional to also wear a hip scarf for some dance movements), and bring a water bottle.

Have you ever had a brilliant lyric line or a haunting melody stuck in your head, but weren't quite sure how to bring it to life? Welcome to a supportive, beginner-friendly space designed to turn those creative sparks into finished songs! If you have a deep love for lyrics and a basic grasp of music theory (like knowing what a chord is), you have everything you need to get started. Together, we will demystify the creative process by breaking down how to write meaningful lyrics, explore how simple chord progressions can evoke deep emotions, and build predictable song structures that effortlessly guide your listeners. All you need is a willingness to learn and a passion for storytelling—let’s collaborate, experiment, and turn your musical ideas into something real!
Requirements: knowledge of chord basics (piano or guitar) and beginning music theory.
Note: Class will meet twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays.
 

Woodwinds, brass, and percussion musicians of all levels are welcome! The Edmonds College Concert Band offers a large ensemble experience for instrumentalists and provides South Snohomish County with a local concert band. Members of the community are invited to join.
