What is anatomy?
Anatomy is the study of the human body. Our Anatomy for Bellydancers course will help you discover why and how the body moves, specifically related to Bellydance. A deeper understanding of anatomy will open a new world of comprehension and will launch you into a new level of teaching or dancing.
Meet your instructor - Prue Schafferius
As a lifelong advocate for dance, Prue's mission is for the joy of dance to be accessible to everyone. Having had struggles with injury throughout her career, she is a firm believer that injury prevention is key to ensuring longevity in dance for professionals, teachers and students alike.
Her ethos is that dancers should be able to dance as long as THEY choose, not as long as their body chooses for them.
Based around her experiences, and with this in mind, Prue set out to educate dancers all over the globe on safe dance practices so they too could lead the dance life they choose.
And so, the Dance Safe Project was born, created as a unique safe dance practice resource for the global Bellydance community, combining Prue's qualifications and 20 years of knowledge and experience in Dance Teaching, Rehabilitation and Pilates Movement Therapy.
Cheryl
"Finding Prue has made my experience of dance, rehabilitation from a serious accident, and understanding why my body is or isn't working so much easier. The way in which Prue explains the way our bodies are held together is so easy to understand; she takes some very complex mechanisms and simplifies them in such an easy to understand way that rarely is further information asked for or needed.
Her personalised approach even in a group is very much appreciated and I have gained such a better understanding of my body through the 3 workshops that I have attended."
Janelle
"I find Prue’s mix of theory and practical in an online workshop the perfect blend, the theory is comprehensive but easy to understand. Then the practice at the end makes it all come together. I found that many of the visualisations particularly helpful resulting in light bulb moments. I feel encouraged that I will be able to now practice the exercises with the knowledge that I am doing it better and correctly."
Helen
"I learn so much with The Dance Safe Project, theory and the practical applications of the theory. As someone who started dancing in my late 30s and teaching dance in my 50s, looking after my body is very important because I plan to dance for many more years. I also like to make my classes as safe as possible for my students, especially as many of them are older than me, and Prue's workshops and training give me great practical ideas to help with this. I highly recommend The Dance Safe Project."
