• If you miss out on a place or if a minimum of ten places are not filled and the course is cancelled, your payment will be returned and you will have the option to go on a waiting list for the next course.
• Stable groups are very friendly and lots of fun. Organised courses will also ensure classes won't be overcrowded.
• Belly dancing is an enjoyable, safe, gentle form of exercise. Even doctors and other authorities in health are recommending this activity. As with other forms of exercise, however, you should observe a few elementary precautions.
• If you have any injuries or problems that may affect your dancing, let the teacher know so that she can tailor the exercise to suit you. Similarly, if you fall pregnant the teacher will be able to guide you if she knows about your condition.
• Naturally, anyone beginning any new regime of exercise should check that they are fit for it before beginning. If you are over forty and haven't been keeping fit or you have an existing injury or health problem it would be wise to check with your doctor before commencing.
