As a belly dance mami...I love the fact that there is a tribe out there for us fabulous hip shakers that are blessed with amazing children! I have a 4 year daughter...Sofia Isabella. She started belly dancing in the womb and hasn't even considered stopping! I teach a lot of classes, mostly for adults...But I have questioned if Sofia would be better of taking classes from another teacher. It is so difficult to separate myself from being "mom" to being "teacher". I have so much more patience with anybody else's kids.....but my own! Yikes!!!
If I put her in classes with someone else, what would be a good age? I didn't start belly dance classes until I was 18 y/o....Should I wait another year or two? Should I co-teach her? Should I allow her to make belly dance her own thing without any involvement from me?
Lots of questions...I know. But any advice would be greatly appreciated!
