My cousin works as an event planner, mostly for weddings, quinceneras and sweet sixteens, and she has this client who wants to do a belly dancing solo for her quincenera in October. I was the first person she thought of when this girl told her that. I got super excited when she thought of me!
I've been belly dancing for 3 years(cabaret and tribal), and just recently i've gotten confident in my dance, but I dont know where to begin with this. I've never had to choreograph for someone, never had to choreograph for myself , i've never gotten paid to do it, heck...i havent even performed in front of a large audience yet(I have my first performance next week...and thats a whole other topic!). Anyways, I'll be teaching this girl a routine for one song, and we'll probably only be able to practice 1-2hrs. a week. And she's never taken a belly dancing class before, and I think she has only seen it on tv or in shakira videos.

So my question is...how do I get started? Should I pick a song or let her? Do I teach her the fundamentals to the basic movements? Do I just go straight into the choreography? And how much should I charge?

Help?!
