| IDENTITY: |
| |
"El-Oasis" Worldwide Bellydance Community is an international organization created to spread the millenary art of Bellydance to benefit, individually, women (students and dancers) through its life-transforming practice and, globally, the World through our contribution to beauty, health, positive and creative thought, balance, peace, joy and happiness.
Its creation has been the initiative of Nigma, a Bellydance performer, choreographer and international instructor specializing in Middle Eastern Dance (Egyptian style Raqs Sharqi), Tribal (ATS & Tribal Fusion), Shaabi and Egyptian Folklore. It has transformed from one centre, the “El-Oasis” Bellydance and Oriental Folklore School in Madrid (Spain), into a Web of many Oases all over the World, resulting in a Community of Bellydancers of many nationalities. Nowadays, the Members of the “El-Oasis” Community are: Kuala Lumpur and Alor Star (Malaysia), Jakarta and Bali (Indonesia), Bangkok (Thailand), Madrid, Cádiz, Vitoria, Gijón, Gran Canaria of Canary Islands (Spain).
“El-Oasis” is now a mosaic of many dance centres, associations, organizations and individual instructors located in different parts of the world that regularly invite Nigma to offer workshops, performances, lecture-demonstrations, conferences and research presentations as part of their activities.
Nigma’s pursuit is not only to share her passion and experience through her dance style and teaching method to provide support to the teachers and students who wish to delve into the study of the art of Bellydance, but also for “El-Oasis” to be a platform of experience exchange with other gifted dancers, teachers, lecturers and scientists. Through the collaboration with specialists of different disciplines and networking with other organizations we hope to improve women’s consciousness, education and quality of life, thus contributing to their families’ and whole societies’ in our quest to spread valuable knowledge, wisdom and a holistic vision of the Universe. We believe that through our activities we can create a positive vibration to help people use their full potential and connect them to the Source energy so that, as a result, Planet Earth becomes a beautiful, healthy, creative, peaceful and happy place to live, a real Oasis in the Universe. |
| |
|
| OBJECTIVES: |
The objectives of the "El-Oasis" Worldwide Bellydance Community are: |
| |
to spread the knowledge of Middle Eastern Dance / Bellydance as an art form and a valuable addition to everyday life |
| |
 to provide support to the Teachers and Students who wish to delve into the study of the art of Bellydance |
| |
 to establish a pedagogical formula in teaching and learning Bellydance where a system and diversity meet, by means of a high quality systematized teaching method, applying didactic materials. This approach will help students and dancers to find their way through the great variety of national, regional and individual styles and props that characterize Bellydance, teaching them -at the same time- to both accept and appreciate the fact that Bellydance has neither one origin or creator nor one style or terminology for its body vocabulary. This diversity, on the one hand, makes progress in learning difficult but, on the other hand, makes Bellydance a unique and most complete dance form with unequalled potential for individual expression. |
| |
 to offer “El-Oasis” as a platform for experience exchange with other gifted dancers, teachers, lecturers and scientists specialized in different disciplines |
| |
 to spread valuable knowledge, wisdom and a holistic vision of the Universe |
| |
 to contribute to women’s wellbeing by unfolding and experimenting the benefits of Bellydancing, such as improvement of physical health and emotional balance, spiritual awakening, better energy managing, an alternative path to self-discovery, self-awareness and self-esteem, and harmony between the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects in a human being |
| |
 to improve women’s consciousness, education and quality of life through a variety of lectures and activities |
| |
 through women to contribute to their families’ and whole societies’ consciousness, education and quality of life |
| |
 to bring more balance between the Yin and the Yang in the Universe by empowering women with the resources to enjoy more and have control over their lives, specially –but not only- in environments where the Universal Feminine and the Sacred Goddess essence is suppressed |
| |
 to create a positive vibration to help people use their full potential and connect them to the Source energy so that, as a result, Planet Earth becomes a beautiful, healthy, creative, peaceful and happy place to live, a real Oasis in the Universe |
| |
