YOU are ready for your bellydance solo performance!

Yes, whether you’re an experienced dancer or brand new, our unique program will ensure your ready complete with a dance piece that highlights your skills and personality, fitted to your level, and completely customized, to be presented confidently at our next showcase!

How does it work?

Once you sign up, you are part of an exclusive group that will take individual one-on-one lessons with the founder of SHEBA, plus present your piece in front of a panel of expert dancers and your group mates for additional feedback from both the teachers and the students, and get comfortable performing in front of a small, supportive audience to get those pre-show jitters out.

How many lessons do I need to take?

The program includes 4 one-hour private lessons, plus a two-hour panel, but you may add as many private hours as you need to help you feel ready and confident

When do I need to start?

For best results and staying focused and motivated, it’s best to dedicate 5-6 consecutive weeks of meeting with your teacher leading up to the show, while practicing as much as possible in between.

It’s recommended to begin in mid-November leading up to the show on December 19th, but you may start sooner.

How much is each additional private lesson?

While enrolled in this program, each additional one-on-one lesson will be at the discounted rate of $85 per hour instead of the normal $100.

Will there be any additional costs?

If you wish to rent a studio of your choice instead of meeting for the private lessons at the Inwood studio you will be responsible for the rental fee. You are also expected to obtain your own costume, appropriate for your piece.

Guidance and advice on costume/ makeup/ accessories/ props choice is included in the program!

Can I choose any style of dance? Do I need to have a choreography ready?

Any style of Middle Eastern/ Arabic/ North African/ Turkish/ Greek dance is acceptable for this show. Even fusions!

You can come with your own choreo/ half choreo/ vision, or completely blank and we’ll help you craft and polish your choreographed/ improvised piece.

We will make sure you have a complete and presentable piece you’ll be proud of!

How long does my piece need to be?

Keep your piece to 3 minutes maximum.
