Instructional courses
CAIRO MIRAGE BELLYDANCE UNION
  • Cairo Mirage Bellydance Union international training courses were founded in 2015 and are intended for oriental dance teachers and those who plan to become them. About 100 students take our training courses every year. Our graduates are already 3 generations of oriental dance teachers and bellydance schools owners from all regions of Russia, as well as from Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, China, Japan, Italy and Spain. The training program provides for 4 training courses, which the student masters strictly sequentially, from course 1 to course 4. We guarantee the quality of education, so changing the order of taking courses is not allowed.
  • At the end of each course, the student confirms the acquired knowledge during the certification. The composition of certification exams varies from course to course. The exam program strictly corresponds to the content of the course, additional preparation for it is not required. Based on the results of the exams, the student receives the appropriate teaching category and is transferred to the next course.
  • Students of the 3rd year, who passed the exams excellent, are transferred to the 4th year and become trainees. A student of course 4 deepens knowledge according to an individual program, which he composes by his own from any classes of courses 1-3 of his choice. Based on the results of the training, a 4th year student takes a theoretical exam for the entire program of CAIRO MIRAGE training courses. Also, the trainee teacher conducts a presentation class for students of the 4th year of the CAIRO MIRAGE training courses next year, which becomes one of his final exams. Students of 1-3 courses can also, if they wish, attend a presentation class of a trainee teacher.
  • A graduate of the Cairo Mirage Bellydance Union training courses is awarded an international diploma confirming his high qualification in teaching Egyptian oriental dance. CAIRO MIRAGE DANCE UNION graduates who showed the best results in all 4 courses, as well as in their professional teaching activities and competitions within the CAIRO MIRAGE DANCE UNION festivals, can be invited as master teachers to the next CAIRO MIRAGE festival.
