A-Z CERTIFICATION COURSES
Now you can study bellydance at home at your own pace. A-Z Original and Advanced are now available as correspondence courses. Study with the manual and dvds at home, then submit a dvd (or upload onto our new private YouTube setting online) and submit questionnaires (by mail or electronically) to be assessed by our A-Z assessors.

A-Z PERSONAL TECHNIQUES
A-Z PT courses improve your overall techniques, understanding and application of A-Z routines. The assessment procedure offers detailed feedback, guiding participants to demonstrate the routines to standard. Personal Techniques certification is required before proceeding to Teacher Training in the same stream. Certificate issued on completion.

A-Z TEACHER TRAINING
A-Z TT courses qualify dance instructors to officially teach A-Z Original or Advanced professionally. Teacher training courses contain NEW DVDs with demonstrations, choreographies and lesson plans. On completion teachers receive a certificate and a personal bio/class webpage.

The Concept of Assessment:

Why be assessed? We believe that a consistent standard demonstrating correct posture, technique, musicality and phrasing underlies the proper execution of these routines. This becomes a secure base from which creativity can grow with confidence. Assessment provides you with detailed feedback, highlighting your areas of strength and weakness, to provide insightful knowledge for improved dance technique and skills development.

Acknowledegment goes to Renate Van Dordrecht, Suzanne Oehlers and Jilyan Andersen who initially worked towards the collation of material and lay out of the A-Z course manuals. Renate and Jilyan's teaching of the A-Z routines in their schools, and Suzanne's continuing international travels for the highest level A-Z PT and TT participant training, reinforce the value of assessment and attention to detail.

We have a great team of International Assessors join us, to assess course participants with the highest degree of respect, detail and personal focus. We are committed to helping you achieve your personal best.

Assessments held monthly
Note: Assessors prefer dvds submitted in this order; first A-E (free assessment to clarify main technique areas to focus on) then follow up with F-J, K-O, P-T, U-Z.

NEW YOUTUBE ASSESSMENT DELIVERY - now you can deliver your course assignments via a private setting on YouTube instead of posting - to save you money! You can also electronically submit your questionnaires.

What Teachers & Students are saying about A-Z Bellydance Courses

"A-Z Bellydance has helped dancers worldwide develop and hone their craft through a logical, aesthetic approach to choreography. It is also an excellent teaching tool that provides endless opportunities for instruction at all levels."
Paola Blanton, Brazil

"I am so happy with what I have learnt from the A-Z courses. I found that because the routines feel so natural, they work great for both improvisation and choreography."
Lindie Lila, South Africa

"A-Z is a great tool and assessment by Keti is really worthwhile. I have completed Original PT, Advanced PT and Teacher Training. The assessments, feedback and work I put into the courses improved my dancing and my teaching skills amazingly!"
Tracey Wright, Australia

"Of all the teaching methods I have experienced I have always found A-Z the easiest to follow, and the most inspirational with visual imagery to help remember the steps and movements."
Meisha, UK

"A-Z is a fantastic course and your advice has been of great help to us in developing our style and technique! The routines have taught us how to structure dances and they still act as the basis for our choreographies!"
Ruth Jenkins and Amy Johnson, Wales

"Before A-Z, I knew my basic moves but to string them together, especially to improvise, was difficult for me. I could follow my teachers in class, but when it was time to dance, I froze. With A-Z, I feel like I'm learning the essence of the dance and I'm confidently putting my own style into it."
Reena Jiansakul, USA

"Thank you for the evaluation of the routines and assessment report. It helped improve my dancing more than anything else so far and the personal feedback was very useful for me."
Anni Petrova, Bulgaria

"I'm gaining qualifications in something that I really love - bellydancing. We use A-Z routines in class, working to perfect each section and I love it!!!"
Melanie Safka-King, UK

"I find myself amazed at how Keti manages to teach, inspire and challenge students at any level. I feel included, involved, and ultimately, I feel I am really dancing. She manages the balance of teaching while tapping into the student's level of individual ability so that at the end of the course, the student comes away with ownership of the dance.
Joanne Yang, Singapore

"Your detailed feedback in the A-Z Teacher Training Assessment report has been very valuable to me in my development as a Teacher. Thank you!"
Lesia Hancock, Australia

Rasika Pawse, India

"i have really enjoyed learning the routines, many have challenged me, and I've used them in my classes with my students and they love them too."
Emma Wheate, UK

"I noticed such a difference in my dancing since studying with Keti in NYC, I always refer to her A-Z routines, and they have become a foundation for my dancing. I don't think I'd be where I am today as a dancer if I'd not studied with her. Thank you!!!!!"
Heather Myers, Australia (studied A-Z in New York)

"I'm so happy with how you explain the moves and cultural reference, it is an eye-opener. I've studied with Arabic teachers and world masters, yet no other teacher spoke about this. Thank you very much for these bellydance secrets! Now my dancing has real "Egyptian" flavour."
Barbara Inneburger, Germany

"I have both the A-Z Original and Advanced & love them. Thank you for sharing your talent & passion with us."
Juanita Collins, Canada
