IDENTITY:
 

"El-Oasis" Worldwide Bellydance Community is an international organization created to spread the millenary art of Bellydance to benefit, individually, women (students and dancers) through its life-transforming practice and, globally, the World through our contribution to beauty, health, positive and creative thought, balance, peace, joy and happiness.
Its creation has been the initiative of Nigma, a Bellydance performer, choreographer and international instructor specializing in Middle Eastern Dance (Egyptian style Raqs Sharqi), Tribal (ATS & Tribal Fusion) and Egyptian Folklore. It has transformed from one centre, the “El-Oasis” Bellydance and Oriental Folklore School in Madrid (Spain), into a Web of many Oases all over the World, resulting in a Community of Bellydancers of many nationalities. Nowadays, the Members of the “El-Oasis” Community are: Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Jakarta (Indonesia), Bangkok (Thailand), Madrid, Vitoria, Gijón, Canary Islands (Spain) and Lisbon (Portugal).
“El-Oasis” is now a mosaic of many dance centres, associations, organizations and individual instructors located in different parts of the world that regularly invite Nigma to offer workshops, performances, lecture-demonstrations, conferences and research presentations as part of their activities.
Nigma’s pursuit is not only to share her passion and experience through her dance style and teaching method to provide support to the teachers and students who wish to delve into the study of the art of Bellydance, but also for “El-Oasis” to be a platform of experience exchange with other gifted dancers, teachers, lecturers and scientists. Through the collaboration with specialists of different disciplines and networking with other organizations we hope to improve women’s consciousness, education and quality of life, thus contributing to their families’ and whole societies’ in our quest to spread valuable knowledge, wisdom and a holistic vision of the Universe. We believe that through our activities we can create a positive vibration to help people use their full potential and connect them to the Source energy so that, as a result, Planet Earth becomes a beautiful, healthy, creative, peaceful and happy place to live, a real Oasis in the Universe.

 
OBJECTIVES:

The objectives of the "El-Oasis" Worldwide Bellydance Community are:

 
Rosette small-size to spread the knowledge of Bellydance as an art form and a valuable addition to everyday life
 
Rosette small-size to provide support to the teachers and students who wish to delve into the study of the art of Bellydance
 
Rosette small-size to establish a pedagogic formula in teaching and learning Bellydance where a system and diversity meet, by means of a high quality systematized teaching method, applying didactic materials. This approach will help students and dancers to find their way through the great variety of national, regional and individual styles and props that characterize Bellydance, teaching them -at the same time- to both accept and appreciate the fact that Bellydance has neither one origin or creator nor one style or terminology for its body vocabulary. This diversity, on the one hand, makes progress in learning difficult but, on the other hand, makes Bellydance a unique and most complete dance form with unequalled potential for individual expression.
 
Rosette small-size to offer “El-Oasis” as a platform for experience exchange with other gifted dancers, teachers, lecturers and scientists specialized in different disciplines
 
Rosette small-size to spread valuable knowledge, wisdom and a holistic vision of the Universe
 
Rosette small-size to contribute to women’s wellbeing by unfolding and experimenting the benefits of Bellydancing, such as improvement of physical health and emotional balance, spiritual awakening, better energy managing, an alternative path to self-discovery, self-awareness and self-esteem, and harmony between the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects in a human being
 
Rosette small-size to improve women’s consciousness, education and quality of life through a variety of lectures and activities
 
Rosette small-size through women to contribute to their families’ and whole societies’ consciousness, education and quality of life
 
Rosette small-size to bring more balance between the Yin and the Yang in the Universe by empowering women with the resources to enjoy more and have control over their lives, specially –but not only- in environments where the Universal Feminine and the Sacred Goddess essence is suppressed
 
Rosette small-size to create a positive vibration to help people use their full potential and connect them to the Source energy so that, as a result, Planet Earth becomes a beautiful, healthy, creative, peaceful and happy place to live, a real Oasis in the Universe

    Fatima's Hand Chapter Indicator Normas de la Escuela:
     

    El Curso dura desde principio o mediados de Septiembre (dependiendo del curso) hasta finales de Junio y se compone de clases regulares semanales o quincenales de sábados.

    Los Cursos Intensivos de Verano duran 3 semanas desde la finalización del Curso hasta mediados del mes de Julio. Son opcionales para las alumnas de la Escuela y abiertas para cualquier persona ajena a la misma.

    El objetivo y el compromiso de la Escuela es el disfrute de sus alumnas, la aportación a su salud y bienestar, la calidad de la enseñanza y el progreso en el aprendizaje del milenario arte de la Danza del Vientre

    Por tanto, el sistema de trabajo de la Escuela es riguroso e intenso, por lo que requiere compromiso, asistencia sistemática y puntualidad para no retrasar el ritmo de trabajo de todo el grupo. Por tanto, nuestro sistema de trabajo es incompatible con asistencia esporádica a clase.

    Se ruega puntualidad no solo por cortesía, sino también para no perderse la parte de la clase dedicada a relajación, calentamiento y estiramiento, imprescindible para preparar su cuerpo y mente para la sesión.

    Recuperaciones: En caso de ausencia a clase por cualquier causa personal, se permite la recuperación de una sola clase al mes de cada uno de los módulos en que la alumna esté matriculada.

    Ofrecemos la posibilidad de realizar la recuperación en cualquier momento a lo largo del curso, excepto durante los cursos intensivos.

    Es necesario encontrarse al corriente de pago para acceder al derecho de recuperación de clase.

    Se ruega solicitar fecha de recuperación individual para evitar un exceso de alumnas en clase. A las personas que llegan sin avisar se le puede negar la entrada en clase si la sala esta llena.

    A cualquier alumna que llega empezado el curso, se le aconsejará recuperar las clases perdidas para ponerse al día.

    Se recuperarán además todas las clases suspendidas por fiestas o puentes mediante:
    a) una recuperación conjunta un viernes con el consentimiento previo de todas las alumnas.
    b) recuperaciones individuales dentro los otros horarios existentes de la escuela.

    Concesión de Plazas a las alumnas nuevas: Una vez realizada la clase de prueba, que se puede abonar excepcionalmente como clase suelta, se le concede una plaza en un grupo determinado, elegido de acuerdo con su preferencia horaria y el consejo técnico de la profesora acerca del nivel. La conservación de la plaza asignada depende de la asistencia sistemática a clase. Si una alumna nueva llega empezado el curso se le aconsejará recuperar las clases perdidas para ponerse al día.

    Concesión de Plazas a las alumnas antiguas: Al iniciarse el curso nuevo, se les concederá la plaza según el orden de las llamadas y reservas. Lo único que garantiza la conservación de la plaza es la asistencia a clase desde los comienzos del curso (a mediados de Septiembre) o el compromiso a recuperar las clases perdidas.

    Forma de Pago: Se efectuaran pagos en forma de mensualidades, nunca por clases sueltas, excepto la clase de prueba, la cual será descontada de la primera mensualidad si la alumna decide solicitar plaza en un grupo.

    Los pagos se abonarán al inicio de cada periodo de pago, cada cuatro semanas exactas, antes de entrar en la primera clase del mes. En caso de no haber hecho efectiva por cualquier causa la mensualidad, hay que solicitar permiso expreso para entrar en clase y comprometerse al pago de la mensualidad.

    Planificación del Curso: El desarrollo del curso está estructurado, no en meses naturales, sino en meses simbólicos de 4 semanas exactas para respetar el mismo número de horas de clase por grupo dentro de cada periodo de pago.

    Las clases quincenales de sábados se imparten por meses completos (2 clases de 3h al mes) a partir de Septiembre hasta finales de Junio y su cuota mensual es de 55€.
