Experiences with MounaMay Bellydance School

Floor Kennedy

:I recently started at MounaMay Bellydance School, and I’m enjoying it a lot! The classes are structured nicely, and we always start with an extensive warming-up. The teacher knows a lot about the human body, and about different styles of dance. The classes offer a nice mix of improvisation and choreography, and there’s a good balance between dancing individually and copying the teacher. The teacher is fully committed to the school, and she’s focused on getting the best out of her pupils. This makes the classes both relaxing and challenging! I hope I’ll be able to keep dancing here for a long time!

I’ve been dancing with joy at MounaMay Bellydance School since September 2015. The classes always start with a great warming-up, a yoga-like mix of stretching and balance. Wonderful! I really like how several classes are dedicated to one subject, like the use of your arms or working on the posture and movements of classical Egyptian dancing. This gives you time to really master the techniques. Later classes build on what you’ve already learned. The group is very friendly as well. Classes always feature dancing together in a circle, which is a lot of fun. I’m really looking forward to the next four months!

I have been attending to MounaMay’s performance group lessons for almost 3 years. I have learnt plenty of new things about technique, but I have also improved how to communicate with the public and how to express feelings and emotions when dancing. The atmosphere in the lessons was great! I felt welcome since the very beginning. Every new performance was a challenge and really hard work, but this is the only way to success. Thank you Mouna and my nice friends from the performance group!
