In this juicy, part 2, bonus episode, we dive deeper with Oreet—founder of SharQui and long-time bellydance fitness pro—on what it really takes for bellydance instructors to successfully transition into the fitness world. Oreet doesn’t hold back as she shares hard-earned wisdom from over 25 years in both industries. You’ll hear her thoughts on why dabbling won’t cut it, how fitness training can actually make you a better dance teacher, and why teaching fitness isn't "selling out"—it's smart marketing.

We also get real about exclusivity drama in the fitness world (spoiler alert: it's shady), how fitness can open new doors, and why you don’t have to choose either dance or fitness—you can totally do both and still be true to yourself.

Whether you’re on the fence or fired up about the idea, this episode is packed with the kind of advice dancers need to hear. Get ready for a mix of truth bombs, encouragement, and no-BS business insight.
