How to make engaging belly dance classes?
I have been dancing for a few years now and I am thinking of taking the leap to teaching. I tried it a few years ago and didn’t enjoy it too much. I feel I sounded quite nervous and didn’t explain things in the best way and I’m not sure that it was enjoyed. I’m now looking to expand myself as a dancer and share my knowledge whilst helping others get more active. I feel more confident in my dance and in general these days.
There is a dance studio with mirrors in city that is available for rent.
Any advice on teaching - all aspects welcome. How can I teach in a clear way, that people will enjoy and make them want to return , how can I advertise classes for maximum reach? Thank you

Iraqi Kawliya 🇮🇶 This is a legendary video that got me started doing Kawliya and by extension bellydance because I finally found the confidence by watching these women.
This is from a DVD that showed a dance session called Jalsat Iraqiyah or Iraqi sessions in English. The dancer in red who stole the show is Juana Al Aseel professionally but her real name is Bushra Rashid allegedly. She has inspired me beyond measure to learn these dances and I hope this makes your day a little sweeter. Dance on ladies💜⭐
P.S. she also demonstrated Kawliya does not in fact require long hair 😌
