You want to start belly dancing and don’t know where to go. You think to yourself that maybe you will go to the class your friend is attending and that will be it. Well I would just hold on for a few seconds and think about the following:

  1. You want a teacher who can teach you from basics right through to the advanced / professional level.
  2. You want your instructor to be knowledgeable on her dance technique and be able to explain to you what each move is and how to do it correctly so that you don’t injure yourself.
  3. You don’t want to pay a fortune BUT you want value for your money.

Well I can tell you that these things are important when finding the right belly dance school to attend because after all, you don’t just want to a be a number in a school that is so big you get lost amongst all the shimmies.

So by all means, I am in no way running any teacher down, feel free to attend the class you would like to attend, but please… be wise in your decision.

I hope this article helps you with your journey in finding yourself the correct belly dance school that you will grow in and be able to expand your knowledge and talent to become the best belly dancer you want to be.
