Shrinking Violets Rehearsals

Ongoing rehearsals for summer 2026 performances

4-5:30pm every Sunday, May 3 – August 30

(except for performances).

We will be working primarily on our 2026 IndepenDANCE choreography and supplemental choreographies for our Bozeman Belly Dance Collective summer performances at a variety of festivals and shows around Montana.

We welcome new dancers anytime with the understanding/expectation that they are willing to dive into our summer choreographies and support the troupe performances. Please note that our IndepenDANCE roster is full and we are not accepting new dancers for that choreogrpahy, but the Bozeman Belly Dance Collective choreographies are open.

Classes will resume in September.

Sundays, 4 – 5:30pm

  • a 25yd cotton skirt,

  • pair of fan veils (180cm),

  • water bottle

  • stretchy, comfortable clothing. Dress in layers.

  • We typically rehearse bare foot, but for summer outdoor performances, wear low profile converse shoes that coordinate with our costumes.

Friday pick-up sessions in the park will be determined at the prior Sunday rehearsal.

Rehearsal fee: $20/month/dancer

The Demi Space – 1928 N 22nd Ave #2, Bozeman, MT 59718

Shimmies! - Jan 25, 2024

Start the new year charged with full of jingliscious energy! Shimmies are a foundational skill in all forms of belly dance. Add a whole new, crowd-pleasing dimension to your dance by layering shimmies on top of basic steps and movements. We will focus on connecting with all parts of our bodies, building shimmy stamina, improving balance, and relaxing our shoulders and core, all while we develop the ability to multi-task multiple movements simultaneously.

Zill players are welcome to drill their zills along with the class steps and movements. Classes Begin January 4, 2024 and run the month of January on Thursdays, from 6 – 7:30pm at the Demi Dancewear Studio in Bozeman, MT.
