Belly dance in Barcelona – Teacher training course with Aida

I moved to Barcelona, Spain, a few months ago and I have been in Barcelona six months so far. As I arrived I immediately looked for belly dance teachers and schools in Barcelona. I found that the belly dance scene in Barcelona is very rich, with several dance schools available specialised in belly dance, such as La Escola con Ton y Son or Munique Neith Academy. Also, I was surprised by how many belly dance teachers there are in Barcelona and in how many places you can learn this art. Basically, every gym and every cultural centre in Barcelona has at least one belly dance course.

Belly dancing in BarcelonaThe courses I chose and that I am following now are two: one with Cecile (a very nice French belly dance teacher also interested in dance therapy, who teaches in a cultural centre called Femcultura) and a course with Aida, who teaches in her own belly dance studio.

Aida also runs weekend courses for belly dance teachers and I attended one of those. It was very interesting, as the first part focused on teaching techniques, warming up exercises, systems to create cohesion in the group of belly dance students and more.The second part instead was more general, focusing on belly dance props, such as dancing with the stick or playing finger cymbals; belly dance history and Arabic rhythms used in belly dancing.
