Belly dance courses

The youngest Dansöz student was 6 years old and the oldest 85 years old. So no, we can’t say that. But we don’t have courses just for children. Children under 12 are welcome to dance with their mothers. Or by themselves with a group of adults if they can handle it. Many children can do it technically.

If you really want to invest in becoming a good belly dancer, we also recommend ballet and yoga. Ballet is a foundation in belly dance and yoga gives you flexibility. They are both great additions to belly dance classes.

It is very individual what you learn in a semester of belly dance. Each course description specifies the content of the course. In a basic course you will learn enough steps to dance as a guest at an Arabic party. For example, a wedding.

Selina has trained many dance teachers in oriental dance. Both in Sweden and abroad. If you want to learn to teach, you should have a solid foundation as an oriental dancer. If you don’t have it, this can also be trained with Selina. Expect, however, that this is something that is trained up over years. There is no shortcut to becoming a dance instructor.

Practise a little every day. Listen a lot to oriental music. Watch a lot of different belly dancers. Try to understand the dance. The different styles and variations of music. Dancing has to be fun or it’s impossible. Try to incorporate it into your everyday life in small enough doses that you don’t find it hard. Continue until this becomes a habit. Once you have done this for a few months, you can extend the time. Before you know it, you’ve evolved a lot.

You burn calories when you move. And you strengthen the muscles in your stomach when you use them. In the long run, this may show visual results. But if you take one course a week, this will not have any show any effect on your stomach. Instead, combine belly dancing with a good diet and strength training.

If you fall ill and miss a course, you do not need to notify Dansöz. Your place is reserved for you from the start of the semester until the end of the semester. It is the student’s responsibility to register well in advance, and to take part in the lessons the belly dance course contains. If the student misses lessons, no compensation will be paid.

Filming and photography are not allowed on our dance courses. If you want to do this, you must ask the teacher first. This is so that the teacher can inform the whole group and those who don’t want to be in the picture can choose to be.
