Cost The B&B fee is determined by the length of time.
Duration of Study can vary .
To study these kinds of things is not easily rushed. These classes are not held by only one teacher but are group processes. Things need time to arrange and develop . Classroom work may not be every day. We recommend utilizing the library during your stay and doing some journal writing as well.
Classes tend to go over time much of the time.
are based on how many hours. We start with $50 per day of NTP Specialty Class for the first hour $10 for all extra hours.
So if a class was 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the evening then it would be $80. Very reasonable for a class that is being planned especially for you.
If you spent the next day reading . No class fee.

Laura Rose Classic Belly Dance and Performance Art
"Dance is a metaphor for
life. As we are born, we are destined to move in life through
time and space. As we learn to dance, we are also learning
to move through time and space. Thus, the process of learning
to dance can also bring us information about living our lives,
if we allow it to. We can learn how to move through our lives
with fearless autonomy, grace and spirit; to flow with the
melody line, be in the stillness or ride the chaos; to overcome
the fear that puts us on the sidelines. We can learn to listen
to the voice in our head that says, 'I CAN DANCE!' "
