"What is this impudently soft and feminine dance, which defiantly walks past the contemporary feminine ideals and conquers everywhere in the Western world? The secret of timeless beauty, which was passed down from hand to hand by generations of Oriental women, in front of men's eyes, but invisible" Eternal RAQS SHARQI, 2007, director:…
I am very grateful that belly dancing is a part of my life, it is not just a hobby for me. I am glad that I found the Shaba dance school, because I have never been part of any course or dance class in such a family atmosphere. I didn’t feel left out here, the others welcomed me even in the first class. When I enter the dance class, the outside world, all problems and sadness disappear. Belly dancing gives joy, femininity and self-confidence. If I could, I would dance every day. (Vica)
Sebők VicaBelly dancing attracted me from a very young age, but it wasn’t until I was 42 years old that the thought matured. I chose the Shaba Oriental Art Dance School for the simple reason that it was close. At that time, I would not have imagined what a treasure I would find with this simply rational decision! Shaba Oriental Art is not just a dance school, but a real community that welcomes, accepts, keeps, and elevates. Shaba and Ági are not only excellent dancers and teachers who accompany us on this journey with incredible attention and patience but also mentors, spiritual helpers, and true friends! We can get to know the movements at our own pace, as well as the related dance history and culture history background while awakening our femininity and learning to love ourselves and of course each other much, much more. This dance, this community, has been a part of my life for six years now, and according to my plans, it will stay that way. (Dori)
Szabó DóriOne of the best decisions of my life is Shaba Oriental Art. I am getting a quality education like never before. From the top of my head to the bottom of my little feet, they watch my movements and correct them. Posture is one of the most important factors that no one has brought to my attention so far. My back hurt many times… Now I know what to pay attention to on weekdays, even just for a walk. I was shocked when it turned out not so long ago that most of the tasks performed in physiotherapy are regularly practiced in the family. Do you need any better proof of body-conscious health care? We do it all in a family environment, to emotional Arabic music, with ever more delicate movements. In addition to practice, we also get theoretical background. Due to the diversity of styles, this is essential. But it’s a great feeling to hear and recognize the rhythms of the style in Arabic music. Everyone’s goal is different. Different life situations offer different opportunities. You don’t have to be a professional belly dancer, you don’t have to be on stage, you don’t have to conform to anyone here. Just have fun. That’s why we come here. But if you have higher ambitions, you are in the best place in the hands of Shaba and Ági. (Joli)
Attilás JoliI have been following Shaba’s work since the beginning. Seeing her on stage, and later her students, always encouraged me to be there with them, to dance with them to the rhythm, because the liberated feeling they conveyed to me always attracted me. Later I was able to join them at age 40+, so before that I had never danced in my life. Today I am over 50+. Part of Shaba Oriental Art. I am proud to be here. It was a long way to find the small nuances of the rhythm, the control of the body for the beat. I received a lot of help, encouragement, patience, and love from my teachers Shaba and Ági Jójárt, as well as from my fellow dancers, who are also my friends. We learned to dance together, to think, to exist as a team, to rely on each other in joy and in difficulty. I found myself, but there is always another goal I want to achieve.. I couldn’t be in a better place to achieve them. I like to be with you, to dance. Thank you very much for being part of the company. (Kati)
Kiss Katalin Laura7 years ago I started dancing at Shaba Oriental Art for exercise and posture improvement. At the time, I didn’t think that belly dancing would help me find my femininity and develop my self-confidence. Without exception, the classes are of high quality, they are spent in a good atmosphere, Shaba and Ági pay attention to everyone individually. The community is inclusive and cohesive, everyone can be themselves here. I am glad that I found the dance school and can be part of the team. I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone! (Liv)
