Accredited by the Open College Network to Level 3 (of 'A' level complexity). It has a credit value of 4, which means there are approximately 40 hours of study involved over three weekends.
As JWAAD is acknowledged as the leading training provider for the study of Belly Dance, we are working with the Open College Network to increase the range of accredited certificates for dancers.
This course is designed by Belly Dancers for Belly Dancers (and anyone interested in music used within Belly Dance).
These courses will be taught by Josephine Wise, Kay Taylor and Raphaelle Masson. Our tabla player, Adam Warne, will join us for part of weekend 2.
Suitable for:
• Students who want to increase their knowledge
• Teachers of Belly Dance
• Performers of Belly Dance
• Musicians may also find it useful to enable them to put the music in context and understand it from a dancer's perspective.
What is included?
• Recognising Middle Eastern musical instruments
• Understanding Middle Eastern rhythms
• Recognising Middle Eastern musical styles
• Working with live Tabla
• Playing basic rhythms
