Orientation
Students desirous of studying Egyptian style belly dance may attend a scheduled Orientation. Students attending an Orientation will become familiarized with the expectations of the Sausan Academy™ as well as the curriculum offered.

Primary Course
This 12-week course focuses solely on the movement of the upper body and its importance in personality, aliveness, and femininity, as well as its significance to the lower body. This course deals with the feminine aspect of the dance, and it introduces the “pain, passion and joy” of movement. Students attending this course must have attended the initial Orientation.

Secondary Course
This 12-week course focuses solely on the movement of the lower body and its effectiveness in power, strength, and potency, as well as its partnership to the upper body. This course deals with the masculine aspect of the dance, maintaining the “pain, passion, and joy” of the dance while introducing the “nephis” affect – the signature to the Sausan Method of Egyptian Dance. Students attending this course must have completed the Primary Course.

Tertiary Course
This 12-week course focuses solely on learning how to hear and interpret the music and applying specific upper and lower body technique to specific entities of the music. Additionally, it embraces the full use of “pain, passion, and joy” and applies the complete “nephis” affect, which is so crucially an important aspect of the Egyptian personality of the dance. Students attending this course must have completed the Primary and Secondary Courses.

Applied Basic Principal Course:
This 12-week course focuses solely on a single popular piece of classical Egyptian music where all learned technique and expression is applied resulting in a finished product, that being an entire dance performance including facial as well as bodily expression and attitude. Students will have applied the “pain, passion and joy” concept, as well as the “nephis” affect to their music and dance. Students attending this course must have completed the Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Courses.

Continuing Education Principal Course:
Continuing Education courses are a continuation of additional 12-week Principal Courses where students may add to their repertoire of Classical Egyptian music in their dance study. Students attending any of these subsequent Continuing Education Courses must have completed all four initial courses.

Students are encouraged to attend additional Sausan Academy™ of Egyptian Dance Continuing Education Principal Courses to attain and maintain a fuller and more grounded knowledge of music interpretation and dance movement and execution as well as its culture, cuisine, and history. This will ensure the student a future of meaningful and superior individual dance performance as well as the ultimate teaching ability utilizing the Sausan Method in the arena of Egyptian style of belly dance. As such, Sausan Academy™ of Egyptian Dance produces only the finest of individual performers equal to that appearing on the stages of 5-star hotels in Egypt.

  Review of Sausan Academy of Egyptian Dance , November 21, 2008

  I have had many belly dance teachers over the years, and Sausan is the best! She is so friendly and fun and has endless patience. What makes her stand out above the rest is that she has done her homework and truly understands/teaches belly dance within its cultural context. If you want to have fun and you want to look like a beautiful dancer from Egypt, then I highly recommend Sausan's classes!
