Develop your bellydance skills with the easy-to-use A-Z techniques!
The Simple A-Z Philosophy
Keti's Original and Advanced A-Z techniques are based on geometric principles of Egyptian dance with definition and clarity of movement. A-Z consists of a large vocabulary of core techniques delivered in easy to remember routines to enhance artistry and rhythmic skills. A-Z provides bellydance SHORTCUTS to improve your dance dramatically so you can improvise with confidence & choreograph with ease.
How does A-Z Bellydance work?
A-Z is a unique teaching and choreographic style for Bellydance based on Egyptian dance footwork, technique and fluidity. A-Z Original and Advanced systems each consist of 26 x 16-part routines to make choreography and transitions simple. All routines join perfectly with one another to create flawless, flowing dance with technical symmetry, relaxed Oriental style and a wide range of moves. A-Z improves co-ordination, rhythmic comprehension and spatial awareness required for richly layered bellydance. Best of all, expect extremely quick, professional-looking results!
Who will find A-Z useful?
Bellydance teachers, performers, troupes and students find the logical, techniques easy to apply and make learning and teaching more simple and effective! The growing international network of A-Z practitioners can travel with their skills and find 'common choreographic language' with teachers interstate or abroad.
