I know this sounds just obvious but some people don't get it.
I am lucky I born in a third world country where people really take serious every single thing they do. If someone choose to do belly dance for hobbie, you can make sure from this classes will grown many potential professionals. In third world countries everything works like that, because people just choose something to do when is really engaged with that and they will give their blood to realise it.
Unfortunately living in london I've seen strange thing. Classes drop in every where, teachers that have no clue about anything what they are teaching. Girls that come to audition and have no idea what is belly dance, have never ever taken regular classes and want the job. Eventually they take the jobs because they are pretty, but trust me, it won't last long.
That is what countries with good economy makes on us. Everyone hunting for fast/shit learning just to make money, with no love and passion for anything they do.
Working for a well known restaurant in London, I've learn one dancer went for audition, didn't get trough but is still bugging for the position. Strangely is that our manager asked her if she is studying and she said is practicing at home!!! come one, this girl have ever taken any class and can't make one simple basic step properly. It is so shame!!! The most sad is that my manager told her that she should LEARN, proper learn, taking regular classes etc... But she have million excuses and bad choices.
This dancer kept saying is learning on her own trough youtube. Com'n, who can learn with theirselves when they don't know absolutely anything to start on.
We did needed this girl, she would have many shows regularly if take serious. But this girls doesn't seems to have clue the importance of learning. So the life will have to show her in a hard way.
If I could give you guys one single advice would be: Don's stop to learn!!!!!! That is you guarantee.
Beauty and lucky one day gone and the knowledge will save you.
Best of luck to all hunting for belly dance job but please don's stop to take classes ;-)
