I'm only a beginner dancer; this is the start of my second year of formal bellydance lessons. I'd been going it alone for 7 years previously with DVD's, because for a long time, there were no teachers in my area. Then last year one of the dance studios started offering lessons. My teacher has now moved her classes to the YMCA, due to some business disagreements with the owner of the studio. Things are a lot less stressful for her since her move, and her class keeps growing.
