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.

The process of locating an instructor should not be difficult. If you pay attention, you will probably notice ads in your local newspaper or flyers hung all over town. Most fitness centers offer these classes, as do most community recreation centers as well.

The cost of these classes is fairly inexpensive. There is usually a per class charge, so you won't have to pay for classes you are unable to attend. Occasionally, some instructors will ask for a set payment upfront, but that usually covers a predetermined number of classes. When this is the type of payment arrangement, you typically won't count classes you are absent from. If your fee covers the cost of 10 classes, you won't have any money due again until you have actually attended 10 separate 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.

Another good way to find a dance teacher is to ask your friends. Some of them may have taken classes in the past and they can provide a referral to who taught them. This is a good way to get details about how the experience went and the price. It's also a good way to see what other people think about the instructor, before you sign up.

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.
