Want to create your own belly dance choreography?
Whether you have done this before or you are creating your first, the Choreography Project course teaches you new ways to be more creative.
You will learn important aspects of creating creative choreographies from inception to completion. How to listen to music to gain inspiration, improvisation, stage dynamics, use of space and shape, and much more. All you need is an open mind, some time set aside to work on your choreography between lessons, and the song you want to use.
Anna, the founder of Ahlam Academy, has been teaching the Choreography Project program since 2012. Since that time many of our course graduates have gone on to create beautiful choreographies for their own performances and for their own students.
Before class begins, please select a belly dance-appropriate song approx. 3-5 minutes long. I would suggest a classical oriental style piece with rhythm, mood, style changes, so it’s interesting to work with. No drum solos or fusion, please. Please contact Anna BEFORE the classes begin to get your song “approved”, so you will be ready with an appropriate song selection.
To best prepare for this class, be sure to carve time in your schedule to complete assignments. This is a PROJECT class, so it’s expected that you will do your homework to present at the next lesson.
Non-AAMED Certifications Students: You can join in the fun even if you aren’t in our program! 1-2 yrs previous belly dance experience is highly suggested.
AAMED Certification Students: Completion of your assignments will account for 50% of your project grade. Completion of your choreography within 3 months of project start date will account for the remaining 50% of your project grade.
