I'm thinking of teaching my friend to belly dance..?

Question

I know how to belly dance, and my friend wants to learn. She wants me to teach her but shes kinda stubborn. So should I just deal with the hard-headedness or just tell her no and give her the number to the studio that I learned at..?

Answer 1

Deal wit it

Answer 2

If you think that it will truly be difficult to teach her if she can be stubborn, and it could hurt your friendship, then you probably shouldn't try to teach her.  I would say that I would love to... if I only had the time to do it properly.  Then give her the number to the studio and say that you know they will have the time to adequately devote to her classes at the studio.  

If you think that she's trying to get something for free, perhaps you should set up rates that you'd charge for teaching others.  (you know private classes cost more than group classes)  Tell her how much you would charge per class, and that might cause her to change her mind when she realizes that she'd pay more for private classes from you than for group classes at the studio.  

Good luck.
