Banjara Format Beginners (Level 1) – Registration Closed
Course Description
The beginners level offered by Banjara School of Dance is a carefully structured Course spread over 7 weeks with 14 hours of content. The subjects of study are theory and history of belly dance, foundation techniques, music and rhythm concepts, posture and body conditioning and choreography.
The course is designed to give you an introduction to belly dance and a deep understanding of the aesthetics and execution of this style.
The course is in a pre recorded format taught by Meher Malik, the founder of Banjara School Of Dance, who has been one of the pioneers in bringing belly dance to the Indian market and been at the forefront of the art for more than 15 years. 12 hours of the class content is in video format and 2 hours are in a live zoom session. Students are sent across class content via Whatsapp on allocated days of the week and assignments are to be sent in for feedback and improvement.
All guidance is given by Meher personally to every student and it is important to complete all assignments within the time frame on a weekly basis to qualify for certification. The course is also available for those who wish to self pace the course and not be certified, feedback is available for the same upon prior discussion with the instructor.
his course is ideal for those who want to start off their belly dance journeys and no prior experience is required for the same. This course is currently not available at all times. It is a locked course and dates will be announced in advance about the next batch. The reason to do so is to take limited students as each student can be given personal attention and the space, time and tools to grow in this beautiful art form. If you’ve always wanted to belly dance but have been hesitant, you can now study this empowering and challenging dance style from the comfort of your homes.
The Best Things Happen Unexpectedly!!!!
2020, When the whole world was suddenly stuck at home, and trying various things to keep themselves sane, Meher Malik started her online teaching. Cannot thank her enough for this !
The course is amazingly curated to understand the bascis of Belly Dance. Personal attention to each student, timely correction and appreciation from Meher is the heart of this journey. You will change as a person at the end of this course. I promise!!! And would wait eagerly for the next level to be announced. I had the best 7 weeks of dancing, learning and meeting some amazing humans. Enroll and learn from the best human Meher❤
Consistent Structure and Progressive Learning
The course not only strengthened my techniques but enriched my knowledge base of the belly dance history and culture. Through the video course, I have steadily built up my skills. Through the live session, I have filled the knowledge gaps that had been missed during the recorded video session. Mejer is very instructive and shared with us lots of tips on how to acquire this dance form effectively and efficiently through both sessions. I would highly recommend this course to others who are interested to embark on the shimmy and jolly dance journey.
Review of Beginner Course
I got so much from this course. As a complete beginner I learned how to connect with my body and also to learn dance. Meher is such a lovely teacher. A guru in the true sense she guided and encouraged me to learn a new dance form and enjoy the process at the same time.
She taught as a subject nor only moves.....
I meet a guru…..who shape my posture & skills too…… Mehar Malik mam is awesome 👍
The perfect way to begin your belly dance journey
The course videos go into a ton of detail into how to train your body to not just move but also execute the moves gracefully. Meher is so helpful and encouraging in her feedback and genuinely cares about your progress. I look forward to joining part 2 of this course and continuing my journey!
