"Joining April Rose's program was THE BEST decision I could have made in my dance career. I have grown not only as a dancer and teacher but also as a person. Everything has exceeded my expectations.
I can now improvise and choreograph in a more fluid, natural, and fun way. I am proud to be able to structure the dance classes I teach and to be able to play the frame drum while I dance.
I am grateful to April because she always cheers me on and gives me clear feedback to achieve even better results. With her personalized, punctual, objective, and motivating coaching, I have been able to broaden my vision and feel much more prepared for big challenges.
With the pep-talks and encouragement from the beautiful supportive community that April has created, I have managed to keep myself consistent and motivated.
Being part of her program has helped me take off in ways that I didn't even imagine for myself."

"I'm so happy! When I started this program I would not have thought that I would work as a salaried teacher. But guess what, I have now been working as a dance teacher for a few months at a civic college, and thanks to this program I had the courage to do it. I have one group and we are practicing a choreography I made for them. And I was asked to teach more groups next fall! I'm so excited! So thanks to you, without this program I wouldn't be here now!"

"I finally have a weekly practice that fits into my schedule, helping me stay inspired to dance. The length of the videos help me stay focused and I love doing the homework assignments at the end of each Unit. They are such a fun way to see how I am progressing through the curriculum. This program is so rewarding and I am so grateful that I get to learn this format!"
- Jasmine, Dance Cohesion Stage 3 Teacher
"I was attracted to April Rose's Cohesion program because it combined dance technique practice with the music, culture, and history that I believe is critical to every belly dancer's education, regardless of stylization. I was so impressed by April Rose's clear instruction, clean technique, and attention to efficient and safe biomechanics. As a student, this is the sort of program I want to take; as a teacher, this is the sort of program I wish I had been teaching this whole time."

ABOUT YOUR COACH
Hi, I'm April Rose!
I’ve been bellydancing for nearly three decades. I have a Bachelor's degree in Dance and a Master's degree in Culture and Performance from UCLA. I've taught and performed in over 20 countries. I've directed a dance studio, performance companies, and many theatrical productions.
With my Dance Cohesion format practiced all over the world, I help bellydancers express their brilliance through choreographic composition, improvisation, frame drum and finger cymbals, while being supported by historical understanding and entrepreneurial skills.
I love to share insights from my 26 years of behind-the-scenes experience in the bellydance world with current and aspiring professional bellydancers to help them create sustainable thriving careers that they actually enjoy.
Boss Bellydancer includes the exact systems I use every day to run my own successful bellydance business!
-April Rose
"I really appreciate the care and precision in the way the material in Dance Cohesion is laid out. I've always wanted to learn to play the drum and finger cymbals and it has seemed a daunting task but with this training that goal is now attainable."
- Abby, Dance Cohesion Stage 1 Teacher
"Still buzzing from the weekend. I joined in the drum jam at the end of the hafla with my frame drum! The best fun ever! I knew all the rhythms. When I began this course I could not have guessed how much the drumming would enrich my whole experience of bellydancing.
And I would have never improvised without this program! Learning and being familiar with the rhythms has opened up so much opportunity for me to improvise to a wide range of music. It's a real milestone for me in developing my identity as a dancer. Indebted to your program for helping me gain the tools and knowledge to drum and to be creative."

The Cost Of Training
Joining Boss Bellydancer should feel like a "hell yes!"
The investment is designed to be a steal for everything you get access to and what you will earn for your own classes and performances (especially when you consider how much expert-level training really costs).
How much is your training costing you now?
Travel, board, food, and training at just one bellydance conference or intensive can easily cost $4,500 (or more) for only one week of surface-level training that usually doesn't stick.
While self-study courses and some online memberships may be low cost, they don't work for people who need personalized corrections and pro-level guidance.
Your time is valuable and it takes a lot of time to fix bad habits that get engrained during poor quality practice.
How quickly can you really improve by taking multi-level classes where you do not receive personalized corrections and must wait a week or more for your next lesson?
What if you could move at your own pace and get results FAST!?
What if you were tapped into a global community of dancers with a shared movement language!?
The value inside Boss Bellydancer:
The ability to get direct, detailed, personalized feedback on videos of you dancing and drumming as you move through the lessons is THE single best way to learn a skill FAST. This level of support is key to your success and it is RARE to find!
Being able to ask questions to April Rose about all the insider info professional dancers know, and learn from her decades of experience means you don't waste your time with mistakes she has already made.
The opportunity to unlock lifetime access to the core curriculum once you pass your teacher evaluations means you'll never forget what you learned or lose out on resources to keep you sharp!
Not to mention the return on your investment once you're being paid to teach and perform using the prepared lesson plans, playlists, choreographies, and templates inside the program.
Teach and Perform the Dance Cohesion Format
to make all your future classes and gigs a breeze!
Whether you are performing at the renaissance faire, a goth nightclub, or an Egyptian wedding, Dance Cohesion combinations, finger cymbals, and frame drum can be performed anywhere, a-capella or to recorded music!
A-Capella Cued Improvisation with Frame Drum:
Cued Improvisation at a Goth Nightclub:
"I'm motivated to get through the program before the height of gig season!! The skills I've been learning are so valuable.
A quick story: This past year at one of our biggest street festival gigs our speaker stopped working unexpectedly. I was able to keep us going by playing multi-tonal finger cymbals with the various rhythms I learned through your format while another troupe member kept the beat with a tambourine. It was so cool!"
- Lily, Dance Cohesion Stage 2 Teacher
"I was teaching belly dance class last night and it was the first time I felt really connected to bellydance again in a long time.
As I was breaking down the movement, I briefly watched myself in the mirror and could see my body move with ease and clarity, and this made me happy. Not only because my body was enjoying it, but also because my students were comprehending.
Dance Cohesion helped me get my mojo back :) I really am enjoying teaching - more than I expected. And I'm glad I am getting my teaching certification through your program."
- Kelly, Dance Cohesion Stage 1 Teacher

"I still can’t believe that while I’ve been struggling for years to internalize Middle Eastern rhythms, after one year of studying Dance Cohesion not only can I identify them, but confidently play them on the frame drum as well as multi-tonal finger cymbals ambidextrously!"
- Themis, Dance Cohesion Stage 3 Teacher
"I immediately had this feeling of fear following signing up for the Teacher Training. I had never put myself outside of my comfort zone like that. Who am *I* to pursue teaching? Am I in over my head? The imposter syndrome hit hard.
Well let me tell you, it was one of the most inspiring, exciting, educational, and mind-blowing experiences of my life. The Cohesion program is so thoughtful, methodical, fun and approachable. I am truly invigorated by the material and I am HUMBLED, HONORED, AND FREAKIN' STOKED to be able to say that I am a Stage 1 Trained Teacher in the Dance Cohesion format. This has been a huge growth for me and I am excited for my future growth.
I overcame fear and discomfort and the reward just keeps on giving because I am stronger, more brave, and more confident in my abilities."
- Amber, Dance Cohesion Stage 1 Teacher
"The fact that I was able to take a long break from dance and then get back into Cohesion is a testament to the excellent pedagogical methods you have employed. Thank you so much for your detailed feedback and for creating the most awesome format."
