Nigma-Professional Training S2 BALI Dec 2010
 

Nigma's Bellydance Professional Training for Dancers & Teachers
is a unique Course of its kind with a large & comprehensive structure,
designed to make the Student -Dancer/Teacher- grow
within a well planned program:
SECTION I: MED Foundations (MODULES 1-4; 64h)
SECTIONII: Musical & Choreographical Forms in MED (MODULES 1-12; 168h)
SECTION III: Props in MED (MODULES 1-8: 112h)
It is a fruit of Nigma’s creativity, great choreographical & didactic talents
and many years of reserch & study in Egypt, USA & Spain
with the most outstanding dancers & teachers
of Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco, Turkey, Armenia, USA and Spain.
It is very valuable to all dancers and teachers who, being passionate about Bellydancing, want to delve into the Millenary Art of Bellydancing
in a quality Training.

It targets helping you become a complete & excellent dancer,
enhancing your creativity and intuitive & intellectual abilities as a dancer & teacher.
It contains subjects not found in other Bellydance Courses at all or presenting
some of them in much more extensive range of knowledge & practice, such as:
Special Resourses
(to acquire the representative resourses of Arab dancers in their moves, combinations and phrasing), Methodology & Didactics (to improve not only your teaching skills but also the results of your own practice or rehearsals), Biomechanics of Middle Eastern Dance Movement (to understand what the repertoire of representative Bellydance movement is and how it is different from other dances), Middle Eastern Music Principles (to have knowledge and understanding of the music you attempt to interpret, as -for most of you- it is part of another culture you haven't been born in), Middle Eastern Rhythm study (more extensive than in any other course: larger number of rhythms [43] and more options for their interpretation in dance), Middle Eastern Dance History (to gain perspective on national, regional and individual stylistic differences in Bellydance, and on some events of historical importance, as well as learn to appreciate the value & artistic quality of each presented dancer in a larger context)

IF YOU ARE TIRED OF LEARNING ALWAYS THE SAME THINGS,
while searching for so much more,
 AND GETTING JUST A FRAGMENTED VISION OF OUR ART,
which is not enough if you are striving for excellency,
THIS IS A BELLYDANCE TRAINING FOR YOU!
 A PIONEER, EXCELLENT QUALITY, COMPREHENSIVE BELLYDANCE TRAINING FILLED WITH ADDITIONAL THEORETICAL INFORMATION
(APART FROM LONG PRACTICE SESSIONS, of course!)
YOU CAN’T FIND IN ANY OTHER COURSE,

TO BECOME AN EXCELLENT DANCER AND TEACHER!

IMPORTANT INFO REGARDING THE CLASS:
 
REMEMBER to bring with you:

—many changes of class dancewear in case you'd like to change it daily or even twice a day due to the intensity of the class (many hours a day & most of the hours are dedicated to practice, not theorical classes)
—footwear (long class hours & many drills in Choreography, etc. might make your soles get itchy; you'll be more confortable if you have your footware in case of need)
—exercisebook or sheets of paper & pens/pencils/markers for note taking
—VIDEO CAMARA FOR RECORDING FRAGMENTS OF YOUR CLASS DRILLS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE IN YOUR PRACTICE
—NO HIGH-HEEL SHOES RECCOMMENDED, they will be useless walking around in Bali

IMPORTANT RULES:
PAID FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE.
ADMITION RIGHTS RESERVED (The Teacher has the decision about who can attend the course).
THE AMOUNT OF THE MATERIAL, VERBAL & WRITTEN, OFFERED BY THE TEACHER WILL DEPEND ON THE OVERALL EXPERIENCE LEVEL OF THE PARTICIPANTS (The Teacher decides the level and the amount of the knowledge possible & convenient to teach each group; Remember the dynamics of the group teaching makes the Students interdependent for good and for bad; If you expect a personalized attention to suit your own experience, level and learning capacity, please apply for private classes).
MAKE SURE TO REST, EAT & HYDRATE PROPERLY BEFORE AND DURING THE COURSE, as the process is intense and you want to benefit from it as much as possible.
MAKE SURE TO LEAVE ALL PROBLEMS, BAD MOOD AND CONFLICTIVE ATTITUDES OUTSIDE. (Bringing them into class negatively affects not only the concentration and the frame of mind of ALL the present, the Students and the Teacher, but directly lowers the quality of the class, diminishing the Students' learning capacity and the Teacher's concentration and motivation levels.)
ANY PERSON WHO IS NOT A REGISTERED STUDENT IS NOT ALLOWED ON THE PREMISES OF THE COURSE (watching the classes without registration is not permitted; accompanying people are not allowed on the premises, only the registered Students; any exceptions to be made will entirely depend on the Teacher's criteria).

For the detailed information about the Objectives & Character of the The Middle Eastern Dance Professional Training with Nigma & the profile of the Students addmitted (BellydanceProfessionalTraining.htm#Objectives&Students), as well as the Structure of the Course (BellydanceProfessionalTraining.htm#Structure), please go to BellydanceProfessionalTraining.htm page.

 
Location:
 
Bali: The reason for conducting this intensive Training in Bali (Indonesia) is that there is no better place in the world to open and reconnect your heart, spirit and mind, which is what we search for when we dance. We hold it in 2 different locations: Ubud or Candidasa. Candidasa is a quiet beach area in the east of Bali, not commercial or crowded as the south. Ubud area is absolutely special and magical. This central part of Bali, full of lush tropical vegetation, is peaceful and soothing, and many oft its inhabitants are artists: dancers, musicians, painters, sculptors, jewellers, art designers, etc. It is a safe and relaxing environment of outstanding beauty, ideal for holiday and intensive study. The Students can apply for an extension of their accommodation if they wish to stay longer before or after the Course to rest and enjoy the island.
