BELLYDANCE WITH THE MOON

🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕

29 Days to Start Bellydancing

🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕

Discover the Belly Dancer inside you in less than a month with short and easy daily lessons.

Next program starts on: 14th of March 2023

Take me straight to the program

I already know Bellydance With The Moon and I’d like to join

Imagine being so happy and spreading so much excitement when you dance that no one dares interrupt your flow

If you are here it’s because you recognise that feeling. Me too! 

You enjoy dancing more than chocolate (ok, maybe that was a bit of a stretch, but I’m sure you love dancing).

It’s also possible that you judge your dancing self harshly:

  • I don’t have rhythm
  • I’m not able to dance
  • I have two left feet
  • I don’t know how to move my hips.

I’ve heard everything: I don’t have coordination, I’m clumsy, I am hopeless at dancing etc. etc. . .

WHAT IF I TOLD YOU THAT THE REASON YOU BELIEVE YOU CAN’T DANCE IS THAT NOBODY TAUGHT YOU HOW TO DANCE?


🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕

When you have not had many bellydance lessons, everything about the dance can feel like a big deal.

Even though it’s completely normal to not understand everything straight away, you can feel ashamed and judge yourself.

It’s true that to dance from your emotions you don’t need technique. You just have to observe how we dance as children to see that this is true.

But it’s also true that learning dance technique will give you greater freedom and confidence.

I am Zahida Palma, and I’m going to open the gates of belly dance for you with my programme – Belly Dance With The Moon: 29 Days to Start Belly Dancing.

You have tried to start belly dancing on your own, practised some video tutorials here and there, or tried copying Shakira’s choreographies.

There is something you are missing: Structure.

In Belly Dance with the Moon, you’ll understand, connect and apply the basic principles of bellydance to feel free and happier.

Yes, I said happier.

You’ll get to know your body and its relationship to space, gravity and the rhythm of movement.

You will move your whole universe.

Your dance journey will change how you present yourself to the world and how you navigate life.

You’ll get a daily dose of inspiration, a mini lesson, and my personal support when needed, so your first steps in bellydance will be smooth and easy.

You’ll reconnect with your feet and their importance in your dance practice. You will discover steps and combinations that you’ll be able to add to movement with the rest of your body as you progress through the programme..

Humans are nomadic by nature and walking step by step is what moves us, emotionally and literally.

What differentiates BellyDance With the Moon and other programmes or dance lessons?

In my dancing years I’ve seen offers like the following: 

  • Weekly lessons which need a constant commitment and a few weeks before you feel you are actually dancing.
  • Intensive courses: You try and dance for three hours one day and then forget forever.
  • Very well produced DVD’s, that feel very impersonal.

Even when all sorts of resources can help you to start bellydancing, Belly Dance with The Moon is the only beginners programme that walks with you daily, for 29 days, giving you daily doses of inspiration and information. 

And it also includes personal support if you need it, so you can ask your questions and don’t get stuck.

Joining body movement and Moon Phases is something that I especially love doing. It brings a deep meaning and a symbolism which makes the experience of learning an unforgettable one.

Hold on, who am I to help you with your Bellydance journey?

My name is Zahida Palma and I’m a Bellydance and Body Awareness teacher and also a dancer. I’ve been teaching for a long time (over 20 years!)

I believe that beauty is a basic need, emotion is essential and movement is life.

As a native Spanish person living in England and working in Belly Dance, I embrace innovation and tradition equally – purism and fusion.

I studied Biology at uni and I love science, even though my instinctive language has always been movement in all its forms.

I firmly believe that dance, as well as being a valued cultural expression, has the power to transform lives, help people communicate their emotions and improve their well being.

My wish for you is for your path in dance to be easy and enjoyable, for dance to open doors to your inner world as much as to your outer environment. First impression is very important!

If everyone were to experience the joy of dance, life would be easier. It’s with this intention that, after 15 years of teaching belly dance, I founded  DancePandemic in 2016. I wanted to spread a good pandemic!

(and after 2020, I also love an irony)

This is your invitation to discover belly dance and dance with your Universe with my program Belly Dance With The Moon: 29 Days to Start Belly Dancing.

How much is it?

The price for Belly Dance With The Moon: 29 days to Start Bellydancing is £39 (sterling)

What does the programme include?

You’ll get a daily Whatsapp message with the content for that particular day (a mini lesson, a reflection, a bit of inspiration or everything together).
If you find any difficulties, I’ll be on the other side to help you.

How can I join?

It’s really simple, all you have to do is make your payment using any of the payment buttons on this page.
The system will accept most credit and debit cards

What will happen after making the payment?

You’ll receive a copy of the invoice and a confirmation email.
You will also receive an email with instructions on how to access the course.

What do you need my phone number for?

The programme is designed to be done via WhatsApp and that’s how you’ll receive all the lessons. I will only use your number to send you content for this programme. Any other communication from me that is not related to this programme is sent via email

What level of dance is this programme?

Belly Dance With The Moon is specifically designed for those who have no formal belly dance education or are shy to try out a class. It can also be useful for those at an amateur or experienced level in other dance forms.
If you are an experienced belly dancer, this programme is not for you, although it may help you to gain clarity and a different perspective. However, you may wish to  gift the programme to that friend who always wanted to dance but never dared to go to class with you!

Can I participate in the programme if I have no dance experience at all?

Definitely YES! This programme is specifically designed for you.

How much time will I have to dedicate to it per day?

Lesson length varies depending on the day. You’ll need 5-10 minutes to watch the lessons, on top of your individual practice.
The idea is that you feel free to practise at your own pace, without stress or deadlines. It’s all about enjoying the process.

Is this programme for me if I’m a dancer already?

If you have never tried bellydance in particular, you may find the programme of interest as an introduction to the dance.
Some of the lessons might feel basic for you, but you’ll also gain a clear framework for belly dance.

Why is the price so good?

Bearing in mind that there is personal support when needed, for a whole lunar cycle, £39 is a no brainer.
I’d like for everyone to have access to dance and its benefits, and I wouldn’t like for money to be a limitation.

What can I do if I have questions?

Just reply to any of the WhatsApp, I’m on the other side!

Can I give this programme as a present to a friend?

Of course! I actually think it is a really good present!! Experiences are something that stay with us for life, and opening the gates to dance for someone could be the best gift you could give them.
All you have to do is purchase the programme, get the surprise ready for your friend in the way that you’d prefer and forward the email to them with the access instructions. This way they’ll be the one getting access to the platform.
For the sake of privacy and data protection, they should be the one that accesses the programme. Everything is clearly explained in the instructions you’ll receive after making your purchase.

Who is behind all this?

My name is Zahida Palma, I’ve been teaching belly dance for 20 years to women from all walks of life.
After leaving Madrid (my birth city) to live in London (my current home), I founded DancePandemic in 2016 with the intention of spreading the joy of dance in the world.
I have danced since I can remember and what I enjoy most in life is teaching dance.

Have you got any other questions?

Drop me a line to hola@dancepandemic.com and I’ll help you with a smile and a swing of my hips 😉
