Tribal Bellydance Collective Soul Certification Program

Thanks for you interest in our Tribal Belly Dance Certification programs! (see dates below)

The Gypsy Caravan Tribal Bellydance Collective Soul Certification Program, with the various levels of study, means that when you are awarded your certificate, you know and have begun to master the levels and layers in the Gypsy Caravan Tribal Style Bellydance movement course! Our goal is to help you be the best dancer you can be, and Gypsy Caravan style format assists with learning the basic dance language, how to best use your body as a dancer, and how to be an ethical and creative artist. It has also been a proven method in bringing the tribes together from around the world, our Collective Soul.

This program has been in demand for years, by the people who cannot attend weekly classes with Paulette or her trained instructors. We are very excited about offering Collective Soul, so dancers can have a chance to learn by an intensive method, in a wonderful and fun environment, and with personal attention.

This is a way to have formal recognition for your hard work and dedication in learning this unique and versatile style of dance. This will give you the technique and the tools you need to better your dance. You will be tested at the end of the training period, and if you pass, you will! be certified in Gypsy Caravan’s Level One Collective Soul Tribal Bellydance Movement and Certification program. Dancers must have some tribal bellydance experience. You must be familiar with the Gypsy Caravan format and style. Studying their technique DVDs is mandatory.

Please note that not everyone may pass the first time through this course. Some dancers need extra time to practice, so that not only do they understand the dance moves, but that they understand how to use their body and can communicate the moves. We honor each dancer with their own learning timetable; you can have the opportunity to be retested when you feel ready by an agreed upon method and fee.
Contact to request application.
Dance fees for the program: $550.00

*This is a pre-requisite for the teacher training program and will also allow you to move into Collective Soul Level Two-Intermediate One,
Continuing on with the program…
Collective Soul Level Three-Intermediate Two
Collective Soul Level Four-Advanced One
Collective Soul Level Five- Advanced Two
Collective Soul Level Six-Performance Preparatory.
Teacher Training will follow the course levels-if you have passed Collective Soul Level One, you may qualify (if you meet all of the Pre-requisites) for Teacher Training Level One, and so on. The levels are logically sequential to make you the best dancer you can be-our ultimate goal!

(The levels do not necessarily follow the identical sequence of the Tribal
Technique DVD series. Participating in Gypsy Caravan workshops does not qualify you to be certified.)

COLLECTIVE SOUL Level One
This intensive program combines dance workouts, various styles of stretches, and toning and strengthening drills with several hours of tribal bellydance practice. &#8232;

  • Learn new steps and refine the moves you already know
  • Build your confidence as a dancer, leading and following
  • Strengthen your improvisational skills
  • Learn rhythm identification and different zil patterns, and dance with them!
  • Participate in discussions about tribal bellydance history, artistry, and integrity.
  • Have a great time dancing together as a circle of women, feeling the community spirit of this dance!
  • You will be tested at the end of the session, and if you pass, you will be certified in Gypsy Caravan's Level One Collective Soul Tribal Bellydance Movement and Certification program! In the event you do not pass at this time, you can be re-tested at a later date. No worries, it is an intensive program and some of us need longer for additional study.
  • This is a pre-requisite for the Gypsy Caravan Teacher Training program and will allow you to move into Collective Soul Level Two.
