DFTS Belly Dance teacher training program is a very unique course, in that you will not only focus on the above
curriculum but also on your own intense personal growth and healing from within. You will be working on all
levels: the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual while using specific healing modalities, The Dance and
conscious thought to help facilitate your own personal growth.
DFTS philosophy encompasses the belief that through breath, posture and dance technique we can eliminate
negative behaviors and thought patterns. Creating a sense of dignity in the body and mind, leading to self
respect, confidence, self love, acceptance, understanding your purpose, feeling connected to your family and
community and ultimately leading you to success in all things!
Being a teacher is so much more than understanding how to breakdown a movement, or designing a class
structure. A true teacher has the ability to inspire and motivate students to achieve their highest potential in life.
DFTS Mission Statement:
- To empower our student teachers with knowledge that will promote emotional and physical
awareness in themselves and their students, by using The Dance as a holistic form of movement that
allows for internal healing by incorporating posture and breath into the body.
- To produce quality, ethical, and knowledgeable teachers, trained and certified in the Master’s Format ™,
and approved by the State of Wisconsin’s Educational Approval Board.
- To provide a safe environment for all student teachers with which to grow, learn and to help cultivate
their own personal and unique style in The Dance.
- Assist student teachers with developing a personal practice that will lead to a deeper understanding of
how The Dance can heal, and take this learning into every day activities to foster a deeper connection
with those around them.
- As an expert in the area of holistic healing through movement and dance, pass this information on to
others as an obligation to our community.
