REVIEWS

Read what others had to say about 
Hadia's Teacher Training!!

  • Hadia is one of my biggest inspirations in Oriental Dance. I respect her work and what she is trying to do for the dance community. Hadia is a brilliant technician of dance and the anatomical knowledge arising from her other work as a massage therapist, serves her well.

Unlike some other teachers of Belly Dance Hadia has studied many dance forms, and is well versed in the dangers and benefits of all dance. She focused on anatomy, and injury prevention/recognition /management in her class. She also covered warm ups and cool downs, learning styles, finger cymbals, music interpretation and appreciation, dance styles, history, technique, variations, class planning and feedback.

  • For anyone who is teaching or even considering teaching belly dance I highly recommend taking this course. There are far too many people out there teaching without proper training. Mostly that has been the case because the training was not available. Now that it is, we should all take advantage of the opportunity. Working with people's bodies is not something to be taken lightly. So if you think you know enough to teach belly dance, get yourself to Hadia's next teacher training workshop and find out just how much there is to know. I can't wait for her Level Two Intensive

I consider myself very lucky to have had this opportunity and to benefit from such an experience and vast knowledge. A definite pleasure, a wonderful and inspiring teacher! ... Thank You Hadia!!
