Objectives, Students & Structure:

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

Location of Study:

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. 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.

Rest & Optional Activities:

If you'd like to stay longer, ASK NIGMA TO BOOK THE HOTEL EXTENTION FOR YOU, EITHER BEFORE OR AFTER THE TRAINING. THIS APPLICATION MUST BE DONE UPON REGISTRATION TO SECURE THE HOTEL AVAILABILITY AS LAST MINUTE DECISION CANNOT GUARANTEE YOUR ROOM.
A list of alternative activities, ideas, recommendations, places to visit and contacts to exploit will be offered to the Participants so each can make free choices each day and carry out their activities according to individual preferences. You can apply for transport or make arrangements on your own. You can explore places with a group, get organized with your friends or go ahead on your own. Enjoy your time! Bali can be overwhelming… Our recommendations are:
—Touristic trips around Bali (lakes, volcano, Snake Farm, Elephant Safari, etc.)
—Temples (Tanah Lot, Besakih, etc.)
—Cremations
—Botanical Garden, Taman Ayun
—Monkey Forrest visit
—Beach relaxation (Kuta-Seminyak, Jimbaran, Dreamland, quiet beaches in the East Bali: Pantai Pasir Putih, etc.)
