Following the lesson will be live music to keep the energy going. Playing their own unique interpretation of Vintage Middle Eastern and Mediterranean folk melodies, Ishtar performs songs that were popular in the bellydancing nightclub scene during the mid-20th century. This exceptional fusion of traditional songs with surf rock elements has become: BellyRock. Come out and listen to some unique sounds and if you attend the class, we encourage you to do some practicing!
