Locating An Arabic Dancing Instructor

By Kathy Kaufman


One very well known and traditional style of Arabic dancing is belly dancing. It is popular in countries all around the world. A belly dancing class can be located in most areas due to the increasing number of dance teachers who offer classes for this dancing style. A teacher can teach the beginner but they can also teach a veteran new techniques as well.

Belly dance is fun to do and it is an extremely beautiful art form. The style teaches dancers balance and coordination, as well as maintaining correct posture. It can be a great method for exercising and staying in shape. It is also known to increase people's self esteem dramatically. With fluid motions and variations in interpretations, it becomes one of the most beautiful dances in the world to watch.

Finding an instructor is usually not that hard. You can often find advertisements for classes in newspapers and many times their are flyers hung in public locations when signups are underway. Many fitness centers and community recreation centers offer these types of dance classes.

Classes are typically very cheap. Typically a charge per class is involved, so you won't waste money on classes you are not able to attend. Sometimes a teacher will ask that you pay for several classes upfront, but you are usually only credited when you attend. For instance, payment for ten classes would mean you do not owe anything else until you have attended ten different classes.

You can probably find listings for local dance teachers online as well. Most instructors actually own their own studios so they are offering sign ups for a variety of different classes. You will probably find websites and business pages on social networking sites that make obtaining information easy. Most sizable studios should offer belly dancing classes, since it is among the most popular choices that people want to learn.

An alternative method for location an instructor is by asking friends. If they have taken these types of classes themselves, they can refer you to their instructor. They would also be able to provide you with details about the experience and how much it all cost them. This is the best way to get first hand accounts of how well an individual instructor teaches.

Once you've signed up for classes, your teacher will let you know if their is anything specific you need to bring when you attend and how often classes will be held. Class size can be very different among instructors. Some like to keep the number of students small so that it is easier to provide personalized help, but others like larger classes where students can provide help to each other. Large classes usually have students who are on different levels of learning. Those that have taken classes longer will be there to help the newer students learn difficult techniques and provide their own insight.

Arabic dancing classes usually cover the types of music that will be used, the basic techniques of the dance and a little bit of information about advanced techniques. More than just learning a few moves is involved in the process. Often, you will also talk about the cultural influences and history of the style as well.
