10 top Dubai dance classes

Ballet
Kate Hazell, contributor
What is it? Forget ‘jazz-ballet’ or any different form of contemporary twist on the art – this class is classic ballet as we know it.
The first lesson: The class is taught by the school’s founder, Sharmila Kamte, who is extremely enthusiastic, encouraging and clearly loved by all her smiling students. You’re assumed to know your plié from your pointes – don’t expect her to explain each move as she sings out the French ballet terminology, although this class is anything but intimidating.
Difficulty: 4/5
Embarrassment: 5/5
Best for: This isn’t for the self-conscious, faint-hearted or tight-limbed – be prepared to wear a leotard and tights, and don’t be afraid to sweat.
Dhs60 per class. Beginners Sun and Wed 5pm; advanced Sun and Wed 6pm-7.30pm. Sharmila Dance, Ductac, Mall of the Emirates (04 341 4777 ext 209).

i would expect at least one or two bellydance or khaleeji (a very distinct, traditional gulf dance style) teachers/studios included in such coverage. apparently the authors/editors do have a lot to learn about dance. but, don't they even know which part of the world they live at?
