Frequently Asked Questions 

 

​What to wear to dance class?

Ladies are encouraged to wear items of clothing that comfortable and normally worn in a gym/yoga setting. You can be as comfortable and casual as you'd like, and are welcome to wear jewelry as long as it will not interfere with your class practice. Dance shoes are recommended but not required as we will travel across the floor. You do not need to expose your tummy, however, it is advised to wear a fitted shirt so that I (and you) can see your movements easily.

 

I have no experience in dance at all, and do I have to look/be a certain type/age to Dance?

There is no real age minimum*, limit, or "look" required to start dance. MOST women, (myself included), start belly dance with absolutely NO DANCE EXPERIENCE at all, and usually start in their adult ages! Their is no weight, age, or "look" you have to have to belly dance! *I do require my students to be the minimum age of 15. Please consult with me if you have questions.

 

Can I Dance if I am pregnant?

Please consult with your OB/GYN before taking a dance class. Never have I seen any problems with women who were pregnant and took classes. WE have had fellow peers, students, and one of our own teachers taught and performed up until two weeks before she delivered! It is a wonderful/theraputic pre-natal workout! In Morrocco, women were observed using belly dance moves to expedite the process of labor and ease labor pains!

 

Can I observe a class?

I am sorry, I do not allow observers. I have seen observations disrupt the flow of class and make the women who are actually taking the class feel uneasy and discomforted. Lastly, to respect the ladies making time for themselves to dance and learn effectively, we ask to assign the hubby or the baby sitter to care for them during class time.

 

Do I have to perform?

Any performance opportunity is totally optional for every student! 

 

What if I miss a class or cannot attend all the classes or just want to try a class?

At the moment I do not offer make up classes.

 

 

What is your policy on missed classes?  ​

No refunds are issued once classes have started.
