Hi,
I'm going to EGYPT!!! YAY!!! But I'm not sure how to go about booking classes and such. Going rates for lessons? My loving honey who is coming with me to just hangout wants to start figuring out our budget.
I will be there from the 5th-6th of September until sometime in October. I know that Ramadan in 2007 will start on the 13th of September and finish after I leave.
I'm pretty well travelled and I've bought the tourist books for travel tips...but I don't know about booking dance lessons. (Oh, also any accomdation tips or recommendations. I am looking for an apartment. I want to be able to cook and keep fruit and veggies)
Help me please,
Eshe

Re: Booking BD Lessons
Wed, June 13, 2007 - 12:46 PMHi Eshe,
Congratulations! I was just in Cairo earlier this year, and I looooove it. :-) Is this your first trip there? In some ways it's unfortunate you'll be there during Ramadan simply because a lot of things are closed etc. during that time, but I'm sure you'll still find plenty of ways to keep busy and have fun!
As far as booking private classes...the amount can vary quite a bit by artist. There are some good instructors in the 200-400 EGP range (that's maybe $35-$70 US depending on the exchange rate at the time) for an hour. Bigger names (Randa, Dina, Lucy, etc.) will charge $100-200 or so in US dollars for a one hour lesson. Some people you can find by checking around online--finding websites, etc. I do also have phone numbers for a few instructors, if you want to PM me.
