The Four Paths: Belly Dance and Embodied Magick (Class, 4 weeks beginning 21 July)
Join Aepril for a four-week journey through the elements, where belly dance becomes a gateway to embodied magick and reconnection.
Each class focuses on one element, earth, water, fire, and air, weaving together belly dance technique, expressive movement, and alchemical exploration. Whether you're returning to movement after time away or deepening your practice, this series invites you to dance with intention, discover what each element awakens within you, and work with tarot, meditation, and energy-raising practices.
You'll learn accessible combinations, move with purpose, and explore the transformative power of conscious dance. No experience necessary, just show up ready to move, explore, and awaken.
Recordings available for all classes.
4 Tuesdays: July 21, July 28, August 4, August 11 2026
90 mins, 7 PM - 8: 30 PM Irish time

Class One, Earth, Coins: Ground yourself with foundational movements, building posture, carriage and hip directionality. Connect with archetype, embodying stability, grounded power, and feminine strength rooted in the earth.
Class Two, Water, Cups: Flow into fluid, graceful movements. Journey into a serpentine meditation, moving like water, becoming sinuous and expressive energy in motion. Explore the emotional depths of dance and feeling through embodied movement.
Class Three, Fire, Wands: Build energy with dynamic, rhythmic movements. Learn a bouncy, fiery combination. Pull a tarot card and dance its meaning, letting the card's message guide your body and expression.
Class Four, Air, Swords: Dance with lightness and freedom. Practice spins and turns with elegant arm carriage. Harness your will through intentional movement, raising energy to set your intention and push it out into the world.
This class welcomes all bodies and all abilities. Movements can be modified, and you're invited to move in whatever way feels good for you. Come as you are.
