Personal Development Programme resource area

Welcome to the Resource area for our Personal Development Programme.

This is the only resource area that is not password protected.  It is open to anyone who wants to refresh themselves on technique and works particularly well for people in conjunction with the Personal Development Programme.

Our Personal Development Programme is unique to BellyDance Now.

Once you have chosen your BDN mentor, you can use the mini tutorials on technique here to help your progress.  Using your tick sheet see which are your weaker areas and use the videos to help practise at home.  Here is a little quiz – see if you recognise all the terminology.  And below is another.  If you are not sure what the moves are- watch the videos below.

Create your own user feedback survey

Remember if there are no BDN Mentors near you, you can have on line private lessons and technique reviews.  Check out this page to see who teaches on zoom.

This is the only National mentoring scheme for belly dancers.  Whatever your goals are, we will help you work towards them, supporting your development.  Try this another little quiz to see what goes on in the world of Belly dance.

Below are video clips of JWAAD/BDN Technique and terminology – this is useful both for those on the Personal Development Programme and those studying the Safety course.  We will be adding more videos over the next few weeks.

We also have a You Tube channel with longer drills for you to practice with.  Click here to go to You Tube:
