Belly Dance Show Basics for Beginners, course with Tanna Valentine

Belly Dance Show Basics is your complete blueprint for a confident, glamorous, and joyful performance - whether for a birthday, wedding, or your living room mirror. Led by radiant performer Tanna Valentine, this program gives you far more than steps: you’ll learn the 6-part American Cabaret show structure, costuming hacks, stage makeup, finger cymbals, and even how to enter and exit with presence. Plus: a ready-to-perform 6-minute choreography. If you’ve ever thought, “I know some moves - but how do I turn them into a real show?” - this is your answer.

Your Complete Guide to Performing a Confident, Glamorous Belly Dance Show
This isn’t just a dance lesson—it’s your blueprint for your first (or next) unforgettable performance.
Belly Dance Show Basics is a 2.5-hour masterclass in the art of showcraft, created for beginners who dream of sharing belly dance as a gift—whether at a birthday, wedding, or intimate gathering. Led by Tanna Valentine, a beloved New York City belly dance star known for her radiant stage presence and generous teaching, this program gives you everything: steps, structure, music, costuming, makeup, and the confidence to shine.
What makes this program different from online beginner belly dance tutorials?
✅ Full show architecture: Learn the 6-part structure of a classic American Cabaret show—entrance, veil, party dance, ciftetelli, drum solo, finale
✅ 6-minute mini-show included: A ready-to-perform choreography (with voice cues or music-only) perfect for special occasions
✅ Performance as storytelling: Each segment includes a “Concept” section—mood, audience energy, expression, and stage presence—not just steps
✅ Beyond dance: Dedicated lessons in floorwork, finger cymbals (zills), costuming, and stage makeup (with pro demonstrations)
✅ Authentic, performance-ready music: Composed by Amir Naoum Chehade, NYC’s master Arabic percussionist—available separately to expand your show
Program Highlights:
🔹 Step-by-Step Breakdowns: Rhythm-specific moves for each show segment
🔹 Practice Sessions: Drill each section with cues or music-only
🔹 Full Choreography: Dance the complete 6-minute show in one seamless flow
🔹 Staging & Logistics: Tips for performing in living rooms, restaurants, or stages
🔹 Costuming: From traditional bedlahs to creative DIY options using everyday clothing
🔹 Makeup Tutorial: Step-by-step stage makeup with rhinestones, blending, and dramatic eyes
🔹 Performance Variations: Watch Tanna improvise to the same music—discover new ways to express yourself
Ideal for: Beginners who want to perform with joy, not panic. If you’ve ever thought, “I know some moves—but how do I turn them into a real show?”—this is your answer.
A great belly dance show isn’t about perfection - it’s about presence, preparation, and the courage to share your light. Belly dance is a conversation across generations of women who refused to be silent. Some dance for the spotlight. Some dance to tell their truth. Some dance to uncover who they’ve always been. However your path flows - grow with us.
