How long it takes to become a BellyDancer?

Here is a message she left for all those who don't believe it's possible to become a BellyDancer in just 20 days:

"I'm sorry that there are people like you who can judge without knowing or even meeting, or investigating the teacher.

I've been teaching this dance all my life, I know the Belly Dance technique perfectly, and I've taught hundreds of students from all over the world in 30 years. Those who learn first and most easily are those who come with zero level, that is, those who don't even know how to move a hip.

To give you an example, Helwa, a student from the US who was a completely absolute Beginner, had no idea how to move to the rhythm of the music, neither her hip with static hips, in just 12 super intense days, that is, 5 hours a day, with breaks in between, even traveling through Egypt, she learned the entire course.

She passed all the exams, but physically she only achieved what she wanted to achieve, which was to learn to move like an Egyptian, dancing improvisationally to Arabic music. And she left feeling very happy.

Those who saw her from scratch to the final result cried with emotion. They couldn't explain how it was possible to make her feel the music as if she were Egyptian, dancing from within with such precise technique, in such a short time?

You can see her testimonial on the website www.BecomeBellyDancer.com

Well, it is possible, because it doesn't just depend on the student; it also depends on the teacher. If the teacher only wants the student to learn slowly, which is what most do, then obviously the student will learn at a snail's pace. Little by little, and the teacher will be guaranteed her fixed monthly payment from students who are faithful to learning little by little.

You can see other examples of testimonials on the web, like that of Jaycee Gossett from the US, who, by the way, is on Instagram; you can contact her directly. And ask about the course she studied with Amora Shams in 2010. She aced her practical exam in front of an audience at a Lebanese restaurant where the owners had been seeing Arabic dancers on the Costa del Sol for 40 years. Their restaurant was Oriental Liban, if I recall correctly, and it was in Estepona, near Marbella. The hired dancer also stayed to see Jaycee's performance. Both the dancer and the restaurant owners were amazed that in just 20 days, a cowboys student, who only knew how to move her feet, not her hips, could dance traditionally, as if she had been a professional dancer for many years. The astonishment was so great that the next day the hired dancer called me to congratulate me. That happened in 2010.

And that of other students of mine, like Gia from India, who had no idea and got an A at the end of the course, drawing applause and amazement from her audience. Or the testimony of Dineshga from Sri Lanka, who came as an intermediate-level student with a ton of technical errors to correct, and in less than 20 days drew applause from her audience at a Casa de Marruecos festival in Fuengirola. She was given a certificate written in Arabic, signed and sealed by them, for her impressive and exquisite 20-minute performance, the video of which you can see on the website.

You can also ask Masayo Samia, who had a lot of trouble finding a good teacher in Australia, because everyone told her she wasn't good enough for oriental dance because, being Japanese, she didn't have the body for it. After 20 intensive days of the course, Suher Zaki's sister, who saw her performance, said that Samia was a beautiful dancer with a soul that few have left, and she danced beautifully with tradition, and that there are no dancers like her anymore.

Or the case of Ariya AC, who came as a professional from a famous school in England but didn't know how to improvise or choreograph, and also came with a lot of technical errors, which she had to correct. You can find her on Instagram ariyabellydance.

Or the case of Azin Zivari, who came as an intermediate student from another school in England, and after finishing the course, she got a contract at a 5* Lebanese stage in London, and afterwards in many more, she never had to see another teacher again. She has traveled around the world with her unique dance style which I helped her to develop, even performing in music videos clips that have gone viral, performing in Dubai, Egypt, Turkey, and many more. You can see her testimony on the website.

Also the polish student Beata, she came to the course as an absolute beginner and in just 20 days she created a 20 minutes show which she performed with different props, and danced Traditionalist and impacting style, leaving her audience amazed getting bravo's from them, also they wrote on her show test certificate, that she was looking as a professional BellyDancer performing for many years.

Everything said here is with evidences; before judging a teacher work, do your research.

Sincerely,

Prof. Amora Shams
