TEACHERS TRAINING COURSES are designed for those of you who are looking to take your dancing skills to a higher level. As the art of belly dance becomes more popular, the demand for teachers is rising and it is an extremely rewarding gift to be able to transfer and share your skills with others. This course is also beneficial for those of you who wish to gain a deeper understanding of Belly Dance and dancing in general. If you’ve ever thought of doing what you enjoy for a living, this is definitely for you.

General level – For everyone! A great way to keep fit, tone abs, bums and tums, build core strength and technique based, so this is good if you want to learn or improve movement and refine precision in them.

Uncover the therapeutic potential of dance - through neuroscience and psychology

Learn a salsa routine in the comfort of your own home. A class at General level which entails footwork, arms, flourishes, body movements and musicality.

In this workshop, I explain the neurobiology of memory with a focus on motor memory. I provide techniques that can be applied and I access each student individually. Memory, as much as it seems, is not a singular process! The reason why someone struggles to memorise choreography can have many causes. See the 'about' section for workshop samples. Duration is adjustable and prices are negotiable, any questions email: substancianigra@neuroscienceofdance.co

How does the brain produce dance? What is the impact of dance on the brain? In the workshops I provide the theory in a dynamic fashion, always applying it to practice promoting embodied cognition and equipping dancers with easy-to-apply techniques. In a fast-paced world where we are often disconnected from ourselves, my focus is to use the body as a tool of learning and give the what and the how in a practical and interesting way.

In the first part of the workshop, Sophia will explain the brain processes during the creative process and Bianca will provide us with practical tips by introducing us to her Two Can Do Method which is also based on neuroscience and other disciplines.

This is a course for everyone: non-dancers, dancers, health professionals, just anyone interested in knowling the benefits of dances at the psychological and neurological level. Part of this will be lecture and part of it will be practical with exercises that really tap and enchance those benefits. You will be able to take those movement techniques with you and apply to your day and practice.
