Girl Scout Programs

ByAmy

NEW!  Coloring page of Kiyaana. Enjoy!

I was a Girl Scout for 12 years and am thrilled to help girls learn about Middle Eastern dance.  Whether your troop is working on a Dance badge, want to learn some moves for Thinking Day, or want bellydance to be part of a fun night together, I can help you make it happen! As a certified public school educator, certified fitness instructor, active bellydance instructor and professional dancer, I’m more than prepared to assist you.

If your troop is visiting the Gainesville area, visiting Nora (Lebanese restaurant) on a Friday or Saturday night will make your trip even more memorable! In Richmond, try The Phoenician on a Saturday night. The manager at each location can work with you to customize your visit.  In the Fredericksburg area, we can explore a couple of restaurant options, if you wish. Contact me for more information.

These are some suggestions for badge requirements I can help you address:

Brownie – Dancercize, Making Music, BS Around the World – Complete the Follow the leader, Dance on stage, Move to the beat, My own dance, and Around the World activities.

Junior – Dance – Fulfill the Dance Watcher, Dance Around the World, and Dance Party requirements.  Either attend one of my Friday or Saturday night restaurant shows or schedule a time for me to visit one of your gatherings.

Cadette/Senior – Invitation to the Dance (Cadette/Senior) – A1, A3 (Lebanese dabke), A4, B1, B5

I’m sure there are more!  Please let me know what I have missed.

    Ask five bellydancers what they wear on their feet for practice and performance and you will get five different answers.  Barefoot, ballet slippers, jazz shoes, lyrical sandals, hermes sandals, ballroom heels, and the list goes on!  Part of the decision is based on personal preference and part on what is recommended by dance instructors.
