(Exceptional Training with Nathalie)

One-of-a-kind experience for advanced students with a passion for dance.

 

The Dreamsbellydance Academy Summer Dance Intensive  Program is   designed to give motivated students the opportunity to study dance in an exciting professional environment. This program pulls from the talent of international choreographer and director Nathalie in creating a challenging, disciplined and supportive environment in which students will experience artistic growth and a diverse educational opportunity.

This three-week program values artistic risk-taking and encourages independent thinking and creative intelligence, while strengthening the inner voice of the performer.

Students will work with Pilates & ballet exercises to establish a strong technical foundation before expanding into the various areas of belly dance. Different aspects and styles of belly dance will be discussed throughout the entire program. Improvisation technique and exercises will be provided in writing to help students achieve a dance that comes from within.

By the end of this three-week intensive, students will be able to demonstrate greater technical foundation in belly dance and they will discover how to apply these techniques during rehearsal and performances.

Who can attend? 

The program is designed for dancers and or, students of belly dance that will like to get a refining technique and performance, broadening understanding of various dance styles, incorporating Nathalie’s unique discipline of ballet, modern, and Jazz.

Have you ever stopped to think about how many shimmies there are?
In my Level one class we usually go over some of them, but one of our new students asked me
“How many shimmies are there?”
And I have to say…I started to think and now I wonder how many of you are wondering the same thing.
When new students come to DreamsBellyDance and join our Level program we go over a lot of details about moves, variations, and steps and this is why we test everyone at the end of the level, to make sure before someone moves to another level to learn new things, they really understands the basics :-)
Ok, back to how many shimmies
Here is a cool list for you:

the basic shimmy, the 4/4 shimmy, the 3/4 shimmy, choo-choo shimmy, hip twist shimmy, the shoulder shimmy, and the straight leg shimmy.

Hips:
1: up and down – generated by lateral flexors
2: up and down – generated by bending knees
3: up and down – generated by contracting glutes
4: up and down – generated by forcing all body weight on the heels with your legs bent
5: up and down – generated by mixure of above
6: forward and back (twist) – generated by lateral flexors
7: forward and back (Straight leg shimmy) – generated by quads pushing legs backThen you have variations – single leg, slice, circles, and many more combos with shimmies.Body:
8: both knees bending together- you can add the salsa step with shimmies!

Upper Body:
9: shoulder shimmy – shoulders only going back and forward

10: Hand shimmy (khaleegy)
So many….
That is why you can not stop learning…there is always something new, and even when you know “A LOT” you need to practice it.
I hope to see you all at DBA this week
Have a great weekend

Congrats for taking the time to REALLY take ACTIONS and make a successful career for yourself! This coaching program that I am putting together for you is the BEST way to stop procrastinating and really take your business to the NEXT LEVEL, and what I mean by the NEXT LEVEL, is becoming  SUCCESSFUL at what you do BEST :)

My Powerful Quote for You: 

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” Albert Einstein

Here is the Bottom line: With my coaching program you will discover a number of little-known insights that I’ve been putting to work inside my business, many of which I’ve never publicly discussed before.

Want to see what I am talking about?

Now that you watched my video, this is what you will get with my coaching program:

This coaching program will give you access to a month worth of information all in Videos Modules and PDF Files downloadable that I created just FOR YOU :)  

We are going to have an online classroom  that you will login to a password protected site and each week we will cover a new subject with lot of information and insights for you to grow your business.

This is what you will have access to once you signed up for my coaching program:

The First Week (Video Module #1) 

  • Evaluate Priorities
  • Let Go of the things that don’t serve your business anymore
  • Committing to three priorities
  • Creating a schedule structure that works for you and your business
  • Plan for inspiration
  • Your actions
  • Leadership
  • Results

Second Week (Video Module # 2) 

  • Business Marketing and advertising (How much are you investing in your business? listen to what I just said, marketing and advertising is not a cost, it is something that you are going to invest to grow your business. the same way you invest in costumes, jewelery, classes. Are you investing in promoting your business in the right format?  We are going to go into details about all of this. Don’t panic, investing it is not going to cost you hundreds of thousand of dollars, I am going to show you FREE ways and low cost ways that you can use for you to advertise your business. Whether you are an instructor and looking to promote your classes, or if you are a dancer looking to promote your shows.

Third Week (Video Module # 3) 

  • We are going to talk about your website, facebook, twitter, youtube, your blog and your e-mails. I am going to go into details on what a real website should look like, not a free hosting site that Go-daddy gives you, how to get the best quality website because that’s going to be your “Real business card” that’s how people will find YOU. I am going to teach you the best ways to professionally use facebook, youtube, and twitter, to promote your performances  and your classes. i am also going to give you direct access to my web designer :)

Fourth Week (Video Module #4)

  • it is going to be The 3 pieces
  • Promotions
  • Pricing
  • Positioning

Promotion: How would you promote yourself if you are just starting out? how would you promote yourself if you being around for a long time? the methods “they used to use” don’t work anymore.

Pricing: What should you charge for your performances? how do you charge for your performances? if you are new or around for a long time. Should you charge the same thing if you teaching a class in a local dance studio, or if you being flown half way across the world to teach a workshop?

Positioning: How do you position yourself to be the go to person in your area?  what does this mean? it means how do you position your self to be the dancer everyone calls when they have a party?  how do you position yourself to be the dance studio owner everyone goes when they want to learn how to belly dance?

 

But that’s Not ALL!!

At the end of each video module I am going to have an action plan check list on things that you want to accomplish before the next week module is up, this will ensure that you’ll get this task done and in terms help you grow your business. :)
So what’s the COST for my coaching program? 
Well, as I told you in my video, I am going to make it exclusive to ONLY 50 PEOPLE!! and affordable, and convinient for all of YOU to be a part of it :)
If you are one of those 50 people that want to GROW their business, than You can make A one time Payment of $497.00 or Six Payments of $97.00
