Anyone know of any good belly dancing classes in San Antonio, TX?

Question

There's this belly dancing group who perform at the Texas Folklife Festival but I don't know what they are called or where they are from. Does anyone know? Are there any other belly dancing companies in the San Antonio area? I'm 20 y/o and I would like to belly dance with people my age, not with old flabby people. Thanks.

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.

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!!
