FAQ

What do I need for my belly dancing lessons?

Whether you are taking classes in-person or online, you’ll need to dress appropriately. A sports bra or tight-fitting tank top and yoga or workout pants are necessary for the teacher to correct your movements. You can wear soft shoes, like a ballet or jazz shoe, or go barefoot. Some students will bring decorative scarves for their waist, but this is not necessary.

If you are taking online belly dancing lessons, you will need a large area with space to move around. A computer with quality internet access, a microphone, and a camera are also required for your class. Some students like to stream their video to a larger television to have a better view of the instructor.

Are there any physical requirements that might restrict a student’s ability from learning to belly dance?

While belly dancing is an art for all bodies and all ages, it is physical exercise. Just as with all exercise programs, we recommend consulting your medical doctor if you have physical or medical concerns.

How much do belly dancing lessons cost?

At TakeLessons, belly dancing lessons range between $20-100 per hour, with an average cost of $71 per 60-minute class.

However, the price does vary depending on the instructor and the location of the class. To get a more accurate estimate, browse our instructors’ bios. Each of our belly dancing teachers lists their rates and availability, so you’ll have all of the information you need before scheduling your class.

Is belly dancing a good workout?

Yes! Belly dancing can help you burn between 250 and 300 calories per hour. Besides being a good cardio workout, it will also improve your posture, boost your confidence, and help with muscle control and memory.
