Philosophy
When in 2008 I opened my school, Oriental Dance was far removed from reality here, from its Eastern cultural origin.
This perception still does not reflect the reality, and as time passes, modern East takes over from true traditional East.
At my school, along with following the latest contemporary trends, we try to preserve and pass on the important aspects of the original Oriental Dance. Without these notes, the very meaning of the Oriental Dance is lost.
What we create is more than just a reason for enthusiastic squealing from yet another form of body shaking. We create meaningful art.

Testimonials
Teaching at the school is not easy. First, Nava always requires teachers growth, parses errors and dictates the methods of approach to the students. Even if you have 5 years experience, thanks to her you will still improve your technique.
Second, the school is open enough compared to many others, and there willy-nilly, you will fall under the comparisons and draw conclusions.
Third, this rate ... On Saturday we can spontaneously begin to teach the cancan with guest by Nava teacher from another school, on Sunday Rock’n’Roll, and a week later we will have to perform this on the party...

If someone had told me that doing the east you can to laugh very hard, I would not have believed ... But with Nava it is possible! :)
Trying not one school, I can say that there are reigns truly unique atmosphere in the classroom! Watching Nava and her students, you do not just learn dance, you are imbued with oriental rhythm, charm, ease and, at the same time, you realize the wisdom, measured, calm, depth of the east.
And it all starts, of course, with the present of hospitality, understanding and acceptance of your personality and uniqueness, humor :). And that's great!
Anna, student
It was easy to select Navadance. In other schools, I have receiving "good trained ears", but the results left much to be desired. One performance could drag on for six months, and in many schools it's considered the norm.
When I have come to Nava, we learned the first dance in two weeks. And 3 months later I danced at the real stage in three performances pleasing my close people and especially my loved one. I was incredibly happy that I've got to Navadance.
Girls who began working at the same time with me for different purposes: someone to lose weight, someone to raise self-concept, someone to prepare for childbirth - all they felt the result too...
Sveta, student
Participation in the ensemble has opened new horizons for me and directly affected my life. I got a second profession, has suddenly become very in-demanded in something other than the basic work, even gained some harmony. It's difficult to count how many dear people, datings, travellings, emotions, impressions, and other positive things has given me an ensemble :).
Of course, it took a lot of work on myself and continued compliance with the requirements of Nava, but it ultimately makes you better.
Yulia, Navadance ensemble participant
Students speech at events and parties of the school is a very important part of the oriental dance learning process. At the classes a lot of considetion is given to the acting skills and to the behavior on stage including emergent situations :) .
Nothing makes you so strong as dancing to the general public. The parties, where colorful native culture masters are usually invited, allow us to go deeper into the environment itself, better understand the culture and, in the end, to show loved ones what we were studing.

Today considerable demands are imposed to the dancers even on the amateur stage.
To give our students integrated development, we do not limit ourselves to one dance. Along with it there is a constant stretch, I specifically found the best teacher of strip-plastic and developing at the school this direction.
Except this for the advanced level is given the fundamentally different from the oriental dance directions. 60s dance, cancan, ballroom dancing - all this helps to keep ourselves in shape and move forward.

Teaching Belly dance at the school of Oriental dance Navadance (Kiev)
A large part of the learning process consists of learning the plays.
The beginners level during the first few sessions are the basic movements, and further studies are already out of learning the chords and plays. At first, are the most simple. If you have previously studied the base was not fully assimilated student, she is practicing movements that can not be obtained, in the dance. The teacher stops the statement to explain the errors and remind the correct execution of movements. As the development of pupils movements and ligaments are more complicated. Along with learning the choreography and dance theory are also physical exercise and stretching muscles with a light load.
For the average skipped base, once given the complicated chords and staging. Attention is paid to the behavior and acting on stage. Is set higher than the rate for entry-level employment. Stretching takes place with more than the initial level loads.
In the advanced level student engaged with the physical and choreographic basis sufficient for learning the most complex productions in a very short time. Stretching runs at maximum capacity, employment — the maximum rate. Particular attention is paid to stage image, makeup, costumes and paraphernalia elements of dance. Pupils can be involved in the creative process, creating the choreography of the dance. In addition to the study of belly dance and other dance styles: cancan dancing 60s, classic, strip of plastic, etc.
For all levels in the classroom free video recording productions. Write, lay out the VC, work through the house.
If you are a beginner and you do not fit the classroom at the beginning of all groups, but the average level of fit, you can try their hand at it. If you are «in the form of» teacher qualifications can «catch up» with the group in the short term. The main thing here — your wish to study and desire to learn to dance.
If you have an average level, but only beginners time suits you, come to a trial lesson. All bellydance-schools are different and, most of all, our «beginner» level may be a very pleasant surprise for you. During 3 months of training our newcomers learn at least 3 dances.
Come on oriental dance trial lesson to any group anyway. Whatever your situation, only at a place (not by phone) you will be able to determine, and we'll be able to recommend you a certain group.
