Dance is probably one of the most expressive, liberating and personal forms of exercise. You can workout at the gym, do cardiovascular activities like running, swimming or biking, but moving to the rhythm of a beat and being able to be creative fuels our hearts and minds. At Bella Diva Dance you will find many of the classical world dance classes like belly dancing and samba. But we also offer unique specialized world dance classes like Bharat Natyam and Tribal Infusions Belly Dance.
Unique World Dance Classes in Denver
Classical Indian dance form: Bharat Natyam
The word Bharat Natyam is a combination of Bhav (Expression), Raag (Melody), Taala (Rhythm) and Natyam (Dance). As per Natyashastra (ancient Indian treatise on Bharat Natyam), this dance form combines the three forms:
Natya (dance drama),
Nritta (pure dance movements) and
Nritya (combination of sentiment and mood)
The dance form includes graceful movements of the body in an artistic and elegant way. Its origin can be traced back to Tamil Nadu and mainly performed in temples in the ancient days.

This total body workout incorporates movements from traditional dances of Hawai’i, Tahiti, Bora-Bora, Samoa and other Southern Pacific Islands. With a strong focus on the core, isolating larger muscle groups, will help you increase strength in your abs, glutes, quads and arms. Hot Hula Fitness® moves to the sounds of traditional Polynesian drum beats fused with funky Reggae music. We offer Hot Hula Fitness® lessons that include an introduction to basic Hula dance, Tahitian and other Polynesian dances and rhythms under the Hot Hula Fitness® format.
Tribal Infusions Belly Dance
Tribal Infusions, taught by Bella Diva Teaching Associate Micaela Cruce, is inspired by the young and growing genre of Tribal Fusion Belly Dance. This foundational class offers a dash of fusion with an avant-garde twist. It introduces students to a medley of belly dance techniques, both Middle Eastern and American. Using a combination of Cabaret and Tribal stylizations, this class will emphasize slow and melodic muscle control.
