Wonderful resource for bellydance teachers!
3 Dec 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I purchased this book because I wanted new ideas on teaching concepts -- beyond just how to move -- in my bellydance classes. What I received was an absolute treasure trove of ideas, games, exercises, things to look out for, new ways to describe concepts, and even coverage of concepts that I had never thought to include in my classes. I am so pleased with this book!
Broken down into "concepts," each section focuses on a different activity to get your students thinking about things like dynamics, emotionality, and musical interpretation. From exercises on level changes to smoothing transitions, from layering movements to teaching students how to hear the beat -- this book covers it all, and the exercises are infinitely customizable. Although the book is geared towards activities for beginner to intermediate students, you could easily adapt the exercises for a more advanced class. The advanced dancer can also adapt the exercises for her own home-study.
This is real 110+ page BOOK -- NOT a pamphlet. It's an oversized paperback, with no fluff or wasted space. The book does not describe or break down any movements. It's assumed that if you're teaching bellydance you will already know the movements. This book strictly deals with teaching concepts, not moves. I especially love the little checklist/test for each activity, with notes on what to look for to see if students understand the material. This book is a MUST for any bellydance teacher.

Great stuff
15 Jun 2010
Format:Paperback
Wow! What a needed resource. This is packed full of ideas for games, exercises, and lesson plans (just like the title says). There are enough good ideas here to keep me inspired for a long time. Not to mention that it's given me inspiration for a bunch of ideas of my own to try out. I love the way it's organized. There is a lot of room for growth and exploration.

Great book of resources
19 Jun 2010
Format:Paperback
Taaj has outdone herself on this book right down to the fabulous book cover. This book is an excellant resource for teachers and students.
It is well written and easy to understand, I like how it covers exercises for beginner to advanced and can't wait to use some of them myself.
