In this 3 weekend course, I will not be teaching the motions or the dance. I will be teaching how to teach the motions, the dance. This is a course for advanced dancers who want to learn about anatomy, how to keep students from hurting themselves, how to answer questions, how to teach movement and dance...
You will learn to teach the Ba'thani method. This is more than just dance. It is knowing all the details for teaching and caring for your student's health.
We will cover: Different ways of learning and addressing the needs of the students, Teaching the basics, Reviewing and teaching 3 more levels of movements, Zills - review and 2 different methods of teaching them, Understanding and using different music, History and Tribal Style philosophy, Ethics, Ba'thani philosophy and the goals of this method.
Dance is more than just movement. It is expressing oneself through movement.
Oriental dance is not affiliated with an academic standard. So this certificate is me, personally putting my good name and reputation on the line. It is my stamp of approval for those who pass the exams both written and oral. If a student does not pass, they are given two more chances to retake the exams to get a Teaching certificate. All students are guaranteed a certificate of completion for having completed the course.
This seminar is limited to a maximum of 10 people.
Students must complete all three weekends.
For those of you, who feel the price is high, your investment here should get you a certificate from an internationally known teacher and dancer. If you begin to teach, even with small classes at below market rates, you should make back your investment in 18 - 20 hours maximum. Teaching 2 classes a week, that's just 10 weeks.

I am now offering a seminar in Sacred Dance. The focus is on meditation through dance. I use visualization, meditation, dance meditation, hypnotic/trance dance and history (dance meditation and pre-Christian cultures). This is on a platform of Oriental dance and the Ba'thani method. This seminar is, minimum 15 hours, with 20 to 25 being optimum. Each part of the seminar starts with stretching and circulating the blood. I use Oriental dance movements from the grounded posture of Tribal style, Dervish turning techniques, or hypnotic (trance) dance, each section ending with meditation, visualization or lecture on pre-Christian cultures. If the students don't speak English, I must have a translator.
