Questions
What belly dance class levels do you offer?
We provide Level 1 for complete beginners, Level 2-3 for improvers with 6+ months experience, and Level 4 for advanced dancers. Each tier focuses on progressive technical development and choreographic complexity.
How much do private belly dance lessons cost?
Private lessons start at £40 per hour. Additional studio hire fees apply when applicable. Discounts available for booking four or more sessions upfront to support consistent technical development.
When are taster classes available?
Our next introductory taster class will run in January 2026. Previous sessions sold out quickly, so early booking is recommended. Check our website regularly for updated scheduling information and registration details.
Can complete beginners take private lessons?
While possible, we recommend starting with group classes for foundational training. Three months of group instruction helps build essential technique before progressing to private tuition for optimal learning outcomes.
What should I wear to belly dance classes?
Comfortable clothing allowing free movement like leggings and a vest top. Hip scarves enhance movement visibility but aren't required. Suitable footwear includes socks, ballet shoes, or bare feet for optimal floor connection.
