I have been approached by a local wellness center to teach bellydance. The lady I spoke with said they have had so many requests for bellydance classes that she finally "had to do something about it."
However, the fitness center requires that you are certified in something. (It's an insurance thing.) They don't care if what I'm certified in: yoga, bellydance, aerobices, whatever. . .
Does anyone have any recommendations on certifications I can obtain fairly soon (say within 3-4 months)? My husband is certified to teach yoga, but he was in a 4-week long intensive to receive that paper. And my kids cannot do without me while I go to yoga camp for a month.
Eventually, I'll do it right, but for now - any ideas about fairly quick, decent certifications?

Re: what kind of certification?
Tue, March 18, 2008 - 12:02 PMI am certified through AFAA to teach any kind of group exercise. It goes over basics like injury prevention, how to work each of the major muscle groups, etc. They are constantly offering one-day workshops to get this certification and they are pretty well-known organization.
