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.

begins June 30, 2008 and runs for 10 weeks

Class Showings

We're going to add a new feature to the school starting at the end of the Summer Session. We will have evenings of class "showings" – not a formal performance but a chance to show what you've been learning and polishing in class. Showings are for all levels, free, and open to the public. It is a chance for you to invite friends and family to see you dance and to see your teachers perform.

For flyers to hand out, print the Mpls flyer for Minneapolis classes or the St Paul & Bloom flyer for St. Paul & Bloomington classes.

All Bloomington and St. Paul Classes
Friday Sept. 5th at 7:30pm at the Bloomington Studio

All Minneapolis Classes
Saturday Sept. 6th at 7:30pm at the Minneapolis Studio Theater
