the Price of Belly Dancing Lessons

The sixty dollars paid for two months of lessons. They were paid all at once, and the lessons covered teaching (in a class of about twenty or twenty two students, so it was rather personal) and the group renting the HUGE room we worked in. The classes were alternating between one and two lessons a week, for eight weeks. Materials weren't really a cost, as I had work out clothes already in my closet.

My lessons seemed to be really cheap, but a GREAT price for my lessons. (It was on top of my gym membership.) The quality of the lessons were excellent, and I liked that I wasn't the only one who obviously hadn't done it before. The only thing I disliked was that although the class felt extremely personal, maybe a smaller class would have been perferable, about ten or fifteen people.

Check out your gym or community center to see if anyone is offering classes at a STEEP discount. It happens more often then you'd think! Make sure you wear clothes you feel comfortable in, and that your shoes are not slippery (if you choose or have to wear them). If you're afraid you'll feel awkward, bring a friend along! And most importantly, RELAX! Everyone was a beginner at one time or another, worrying about looking silly will end up messing you up.
