Bellyqueen

My experience at belly Queen was not as I had hoped it would be perhaps there were too many expectations as I was signing up for the beginners class. This is a review after 3 sessions with 3 different instructors. Although the instructors are all beautiful charismatic dancers whom clearly know belly dance techic, it is the inability to do just that instruct on a beginners level that put me off about the place. Perhaps because have taken belly dance before on a beginners level that I have made this comparison but personally I feel that due to the fact that the majority of beginner classes are usually filled with learners that have been taking their classes for a while , instructors tend to disregard those whom have just entered. This makes it very difficult and ultimately discouraging to learn, a beginners class should be a place that nurtures and challenges just that the beginners not a practice session for an experienced dancer. Also they do not take the time to ask if anyone may need further clarification on a move, and furthermore it can be difficult to find a place with in the studio that you feel comfortable in because instructors rotate the class constantly which may work for some but not for me. Overall I believe it is a great place for experienced belly dancers to bulit a connections and further their craft but it is in no way a place to start.

BellyQueen is an exceptional school of bellydance offering many different styles on the highest level of instruction. Technique, variety, professionalism, community, this is a very special place for ALL of it!

Taking dance classes at Bellyqueen has been an experience so much greater than simply taking a class. I have become part of a community, had performance opportunities, expanded my own performance skills, discipline, as well as a holistic approach to dance and performance that goes beyond the studio and into every day life.
