Welcome to Teaching Skills
We have three courses in the Teaching Skills series, each offering a different level of Instructor Licensing following the course. Our courses focus on teaching Suhaila’s somatic approach to belly dance and the Salimpour Vocabulary in a very specific way. This focus includes the specific method of breaking down, timing, storytelling, and referencing that provides a richer context for instructor and student.
All three courses focus on teaching Suhaila’s somatic belly dance method, the Salimpour Vocabulary, lesson plans and combinations, classroom management, and learner engagement.
