You will learn

This course is the most intensive BellyDance Course you will study in your life, Amora Shams is another type of teacher.

During the course you will learn from the most basic first movements until the most professional and difficult movements in the first 5 days (Beginner Level).

Then you will learn to Dance Traditionally by improvisation to Taxims, Balady and Drums Solo's as an authentic Arabian dancer plus to use the Veil and the Cymbals (Intermediate Level)

Then you will learn to create your own Choreographies and to use all other traditional BellyDance props which belongs to the Folkloric  Egyptian & Turkish Dances such as Turkish Dance of the Sword, Candelabra Dance, Saidi Cane Dance, Dancing with Wings or Capes, Alexandrian Melaya Dance, Nubian Dance will be taught by famous folkloric teacher, Tanoura Dervish Dance famous dancer will teach it, a live musician class, Amora normally brings a drummer, but is up to students what they prefer, maybe this year she will bring a kanoon, a nail or a clarinet player instead, which are more in her line. But is up to the group what they vote. If a large group from 10 students books, then she will organise a master class with all the orchestra and a photo session for all students will be included (Advance to Professional Level). 

All Levels are Welcome to study the BGBDC from Beginner Level

As you can figure out is a very intensive program, but don't worry if you struggle during the course, because Amora's speciality is to make sure each student achieves the highest level day by day, guiding you, but she also needs your help to make it happen.

All students who want to achieve the professional level at the end of the course, no matter their starting level, they must work hard every day, no laziness is allowed during the daily training, otherwise it will show up at the end of the course.

And if Amora doesn't see you ready for the Show Test, she will not let you present yourself in front of the public, so you can't get the Professional Level Certificate, you will only have achieved the highest level Certificate during the course. To be able to pass all exams, all students must do their daily written and practical homeworks, if you do not do them, then you will not pass the exams even if you start the course as a professional level student.

So, this course is very intensive and requires full dedication to achieve best result at the end of the course.


International Insurance

All students must get their own International Health Insurance for the duration of the trip, Amora Shams is not responsible of your belongings, health and security, even if she will be like a mom to you during your stay. Normally students get a 3 months International Health Insurance for about 50 euros.

The idea is to travel around Egypt, so students can experience what is to live in Egypt, but is fundamental the respect towards the teacher Amora, and if she ask you to dress in certain way, you must do because she knows Egypt very well since long time, and she can tell you that if you don't dress in certain way in certain places, the people treats you different, so this is very important for Amora that students obey her in everything, because all she wants is them to be save and everyone to have an unforgettable experience a part of making sure she teaches all the program, corrects all the written daily homework and weekly exams, to make sure you develop quickly and efficiently, according to the standards she is use to achieve on students who are disciplinary. During the course it is not allowed to go out without Amora Shams permission, all students can't drink alcohol, eat pork, or start a relationship, by Egyptian Law it is not allowed to bring Egyptian men into the accommodation.
