What's it Worth?

Let's get right down to the heart of the matter. These are tough times.
When it comes to putting your hard earned money down for some great belly dance instruction, the Mira  retreat is a great investment.

Consider the following expenses at any type of general large scale event:

• Class registration (many people spend $200- $300 + on workshops, seminars, etc. ...)
• Hotel (the average cost per night is $100.00)
• Food for every day of an event (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, coffee, drinks)
• Travel once you're there (bus, rental car, or cab)
• Vending
• Shows, galas, night time events

Most people spend in excess of $1200 at any event.

NOW CONSIDER THIS...
The Mira Betz retreat offers you a flat rate that you can budget out over time. You won't spend a dime once you get to the retreat. It's all paid for up front so you can just enjoy the event.
For your investment, you get:

• Hours and hours of  instruction with the world-renowned Mira Betz that you won't get anywhere else in the U.S.. Period.
• Personalized instruction and support from Mira with an intimate group of dancers with whom you will develop a lifelong bond. No large classes here.
• A venue that is truly a retreat from the real world into the world of dance. Class sessions may take place indoors and outdoors.
• All gourmet breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks prepared to your dietary specifications every day.
• Access to beautiful surroundings, including gardens, the Cibolo creek, reflexology path and trails. The venue is a yoga retreat center.
• The venue and your lodging take place in the same beautifully charming house tucked away in the Texas Hill Country outside of Austin, Texas.
• A chance to reflect and discover who you are and where you want to go as an artist.

The experience you will have at this retreat will shape you as an artist and a dancer. What is being transformed from the inside out worth? It's time to find out. Come join Mira on this weeklong journey into dance like you've never experienced.

NEWEST INTENSIVE RETREAT!

Mira has been hailed for “generously sharing her experience, knowledge and expertise to help guide each and every dancer along her own path to personal greatness. She inspires dancers to become life-long learners in this dance, and encourages them to become experts in their own right, so they can then pass along this knowledge to others. -Stacey Nolan, performance intensive participant 2009”

After a smashing debut in Mexico fall 2010 Mira is offering a US based version of her hot new retreat!
In this newly designed intensive she will take dancers on a journey of the body and mind. The curriculum will focus on dance technique, the solitary nature of an artist and how we can use our practice to enhance our life. The intensive will take advantage of the remote surroundings to retreat from life into the dance, into yourself, providing an avenue to deepen your understanding of how you function in your body, in your creativity, and how this informs your dance, costuming and music choices.
