I am moving to germany shortly (army family) and i plan to do shows that as soon as we get settled, not to mention being that europe has a lack of tribal dancers (being that ats is american) i want to do low scale beginners lessons....i am not qualified to do advanced lessons yet, but beginner level....

i plan to one day get certifiation to teach actual ats...

but anyways here is the question. for anyone tht has ever worked in europe. do i need a license in germany to dance and make profit? and for the teaching? for the teaching i planned just simple in home lessons, possibly working with the local military gym to help out with teaching classes. i know for certain countires you need an actual icense to dance...and i was not sur eif germany is one of them. of course i realize once i arrive in germany i have to get everything set up and check but just trying ot get a heads up right now.


to add in...if anyone knows anyone in the belly dance business located near wiesbaden, i would greatly appreciate a link or contact email. other than dancing myself and helping others get into it, i of course want to keep training and learn from new dancers so it is vital i learn the german dance scene asap!

thanks for your time ladies

    Hi Monique, Djamila is on tribe and has her "Orient Academy"in Frankfurt/Offenbach. She is very kind and helpful and should be able to tell you about the area (she speaks English) www.djamila.de or www.orient-academy.de. Also Reyhan (Egyptian style) is in Frankfurt, and Momo Kadous lives there, our most important Egyptian teacher.

    No, you don't have to have a degree or license to teach dancing. There are few private degrees. At Djamila's academy, they do teacher's training, Said el Amir specializes in that.
