About the Program
Due to the unique nature of her format and dance language, all new
students in the Certification program, whether they are beginners
or advanced dancers, begin with Level 1.
The program trains students to become complete belly dancers versed
in dance movements, history, music and culture. Dance certification
by Suhaila provides students with formal recognition of their dedication
to and hard-earned proficiency in Suhaila's challenging style. The
certification program encompasses five dance levels: Level 1 (Basics
Breakdown), Level 2 (Fundamentals), Level 3 (Intermediate), Level
4 (Advanced), and Level 5 (Teaching Certification).
Each level provides training in identifying and isolating muscle
groups, belly dance history and culture, rhythm identification,
finger cymbals, dance movement / combinations, as well as the
Jamila Salimpour format appropriate to the level. Every level
is a vital piece in the dance mosaic, providing specialized training
within a logical, cumulative sequence.
The Level V certification is the only certificate that authorizes
a dancer to teach the Suhaila Salimpour format. All other certificates
(Levels I-IV) are certificates of achievement within the Suhaila
Salimpour School of Dance LLC that denotes a dancer's progress.
When a dancer achieves a Suhaila Salimpour School of Dance Teaching
Certificate (Level V) they will receive the highest quality of
training within a belly dance program. The students that are then
taught the Suhaila Salimpour Format under the Certified Instructor
through the direction, curriculum and guidance from the Suhaila
Salimpour School of Dance will receive the highest quality of
belly dance training available today.
Certification in the Suhaila Salimpour School of Dance LLC is
valid for one year and contingent upon completion of the requisite
number of Continuing Education Credits (CEC’s) and active
membership in the Suhaila Salimpour School of Dance LLC. In the
case of insufficient CEC’s or an expired membership, the
certification will become invalid and the dancer must retest/recertify.
