I've been teaching for a few years so I'm looking for books with ideas on different teaching methods as opposed to how to start up a class. I know what we learn from our own dance instructors is invaluable, but it's good to learn from other teachers experiences and outlooks too.

This is a book (well I guess it is a whole course- dvds, music, handbook, business templates, & weekly class plans) that may be helpful to the start-up of a business... but not having used it personally, perhaps some one else who has can comment on whether or not they recommend it. It certainly sounds like a convenient one-stop start-up guide. http://www.shemiranibrahim.com/how-to-teach-belly-dance/ Has anyone reviewed this package or know someone who used it?

I'll admit that I've bought it, but I haven't sat down and read through it, yet. However, I bought her guide to choreography at the same time, and it's marvelous! So, I'm betting that her teaching one is also wonderful.
