Bellydance beginner!!! need help!!!!

trang1808 · 06-09-2008, 07:50 AM

I've studied bellydancing for 6months.

However, I learned it from video on internet, searching imformation and with no teacher.

I need how to learn bellydancing from beginning to advanced.

maybe videos 'cause it's clear.

I need the instruction from the bellydane style of Didem.

Thanks

You don't need from beginners to advanced right now. It takes years to become advanced. you also don't need to start with didem's style you need to start with good basic technique. Try Jenna, Bellydance Basics and beyond. Then practice, practise, practise.

where are you from? Maybe there is a basic teacher near you if you set your sights a bit lower to begin with

thanks for your answer

I live in Vietnam. In VN, bellydancing is a newest art. I love bellydancing too much. When I was a child, I dreamed about becoming a bellydancer. Now, it becomes true. I can use internet for learning but I can't know all about it.
How could I find this Bellydance Basics and beyond. I try to practice to become a first bellydance teacher in Vietnam.

Bellydance Basics and Beyond is available from Amazon.com - at least that's where I bought my copy from. It's a good video, but you will also need to see a teacher because it's very hard to learn on your own and you won't see what mistakes you are doing. Especially find a teacher before you start teaching someone.

hi trang,
it's good to learn it from video clips,but you still need to learn it from a live teacher for technique,cultural information,and many tips on how to's,etc; because it is more than what it is,especially for middle eastern cultural values info.

well i suggest you to go to this link for classes in vietnam:

1.Belly Dancing Lessons: Find A Teacher Or Performer
2.Bastet Douat - Troupe updates and bellydance information

this is the best i can find for you.

i would recommend trying different dvd's, you could rent them from blockbuster to see which ones fit you
or google a local class to you and take the classes, they are always way more helpful.
