Private tuition is recommended for students who want to work on a particular aspect of their bellydance, e.g., a particular movement, or dancing to a particular piece of music. Desna will agree with you before the lessons what you want to look at, so that you get the most out of the time.
Desna doesn't recommend private tuition for complete beginners - from her experience beginners learn more, and learn faster, in the supportive social environment of regular weekly classes.
Cost of private tuition: Private lessons - £30 / hr or book a block of 5 lessons (to be taken within a 2 month period) for £125. Desna is happy for students to share private tuition - but there must be a maximum of 4 in the group.

Desna is experienced in teaching a wide range of ages, and welcomes the participation of men and boys in workshops and classes. She will tailor teaching sessions to the needs of you and your group - whether you're a school teacher looking for something different for PE or a community group wanting to learn a new skill.
You can read descriptions of Desna's 'ready-to-go' workshops on the workshops page.
Cost of workshops / classes: £50 / hr - Discounts will be given for bookings over 2 hours in length or over a number of weeks.

If you are a member of a bellydance group or an organiser of a bellydance event, Desna would be delighted to teach more specialised workshops for you. She can tailor workshops to your needs, or you can choose from one of the following 'ready-to-go' workshops. All of them require a sound knowledge of basic bellydance movements and concepts.
