Position:Home>Dancing> Belly dancing.. natural talent or can anybody learn?Question: Belly dancing!.!. natural talent or can anybody learn!? Okay, embarrassing as it sounds, I really want to take a belly dancing class but I'm kind of afraid that I won't be able to learn the moves!. I have very little "rhythm" when it comes to dancing and I was just wondering if someone can learn to bellydance with no natural born talent or do you have to be born with skill to learn!? Thanks!Www@QuestionHome@Com
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Anyone can learn belly dance!. Some may have a bit of natural ability, but taking classes will help them to hone and refine their movements!. The lack of rhythm seems more of a problem when you're trying to learn dance styles where the focus is on how/where you move your feet/legs!. Belly dance movements are focused more in your torso!. The long, full skirts hide your feet/legs a bit too, so you don't have to feel so awkward about them!. To find a class/teacher you might want to start by checking with a gym or recreation center in your area!. Sometimes they have dance classes, and those teachers may also do private lessons!. You can look on Shira's website!. http://www!.shira!.net/ http://www!.shira!.net/directory!.htm other websites where you can look for teachers http://www!.middleeasterndance!.net/ http://www!.middleeasterndance!.net/Dancer!.!.!. http://www!.bhuz!.com/ http://zaghareet!.freeservers!.com/ http://www!.bdancer!.com/med-guide/ You can e-mail or call some of the dance instructors to find out what ages they teach in their classes, more about their background, their style of instruction, what they expect from students, and fees they charge for classes!. If you don't find a teacher listed for your area, you might want to contact one from the websites and find out if they may know of an instructor who may live closer to you!. You might want to see if you can contact other students of theirs to get their opinions of the classes!. A good teacher should encourage this!. I hope you find a teacher that you like!. If one teacher's style doesn't suit your learning style, try another!. I've known some dancers to take awhile finding a setting that worked for them!. Good luck!!Www@QuestionHome@Com Hey, don't feel bad, that happened to me and ballet!. I'm young though, but you can still learn!. Don't be afraid to try new things!. My parents named me Tryston because they wanted to be the type that wasn't afraid to try new things!. And I'm not!. Just askif they teach rhythm as a technique!. I never went to a class and I can do what I call belly dancing!. Lol!. Just try!. And if you feel like a total fool, laugh it off and don't let anyone know how you really feel!. Smile and nod!. Hope I helped!.Www@QuestionHome@Com it can be either!. I never took a belly dancing class or anything but I can do it naturally because of my arabian background!. I have a friend who was born and raised in Canada and took belly dancing classes and she got the hang of it and can do it well!. Just pay attention in class and practice and u should be fine:)Www@QuestionHome@Com Belly dancing is a great form of exercise!. A lot of the moves are simple, then practice, practice, practice!. You should go for it!.
