3    Belly dance - examinations for students or outcomes based assessments for this uniquely free spirited art form?  

Not even in the Middle East do students of the art undergo examinations in the ever evolving and many various aspects of styles fused today in the Western world today, in this art form.  So why would anyone want to create such added pressure for students who really want learn the art for pure fun, socials, healing and stress release?   On what basis do examiners profess to be experts to make students undergo and actually pay for exams that is not recognised in the rest of the world? How would these exams improve the life/expression of the dance of each student if it does not have a positive ripple effect in the world that the student wishes to take her level of the dance to?  Once various appropriate music interpretation with related styles has been correctly taught to students, what is really there  to examine? and against what skill/experience are examinations standards drawn up?   Surely students are paying teachers to teach them the art corectly, so why don't teachers take resposnibility for what they are teaching instead of a cop out using exams run by someone else?
The modern caberat style of the dance is by far the most popular with students - in this style students are taught basic movements with modern music expression - then they would be able to interpret music as free spirited individuals.  Belly dance results in a rewarding and very individual path of personal growth - who dares to assume the right to "pass" or "fail" that in an individual?
