Locating An Arabic Dancing Instructor

By Kathy Kaufman


The traditional dancing style of belly dancing is a popular style of Arabic dancing. It is performed by dancers in most countries. A belly dancing class is usually easy to find since so many dance instructors offer then, due to this popularity. An instructor usually teaches beginners, but advanced skill students also take classes to brush up on their style and technique.

Belly dancing is a fun activity and a beautiful form of art. It teaches balance, coordination and proper posture. It is also an excellent exercise activity for staying fit and has the ability to significantly increase a person's self esteem. The beauty of this dance is in the fluid motion and intriguing interpretations by individual dancers.

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.

After you have signed up, the instructor should inform you of special equipment you might need to being to class. They will also let you know the class schedule. The number of students in a class can vary greatly. Some dance teachers like having smaller classes so they can give their students one on one help. Other dance teachers like larger classes where students can help each other as they progress. In this type of situation, there will probably be students on varying skill levels in attendance. Students who have taken more classes will be able to assist newcomers.

Some of the common elements taught in Arabic dancing classes are the basic techniques, they types of music that is used and information about more advanced techniques as well. You will learn much more than the moves associated with the style. You will also discuss cultural influences and the history of the art form.
