Certification & Recertification
Step 1: Determine if you have the basic movement knowledge and posture alignment that you need before beginning a teaching certification program.
Step 2: Purchase the Belly Dance Trainer (sm) Certification Program.
Step 3: Complete each chapter in order.
Step 4: Complete each assessment in order.
Once you pass each chapter assessment and agree to and sign the Code of Ethics, you will become a certified Belly Dance Trainer (sm) for two years. At the end of two years, if you wish to retain that certification, you would re-certify.
The Re-certification Process
Step 1: Complete the re-certification assessment video that shows you teaching using the skills taught in the BDT certification program. Include your goals and objectives of the lesson. Include a self-critique.
Step 2: Complete the sheet showing proof of 20 hours of continuing education.
Step 3: Send the re-certification assessment, continuing education form, and fee of $65 to Taaj at: P.O. Box 581 Palmyra, VA 22963. Allow 3 weeks for review. To avoid a lapse in your certification, send three weeks before your certification expires.
