Gold Diamond
I’m a professional belly dancer, choreographer, and international
judge from Ukraine. For over 20 years, Oriental dance has been my
passion, and for the past 15, I’ve been sharing it with women around
the world — helping them move beautifully, feel confident, and
reconnect with their feminine energy.
I am a two-time IDO World Champion (2012 & 2013), a three-time Dance
World Cup winner, and a five-time consecutive Ukrainian Belly Dance
Champion. These achievements represent years of dedication,
discipline, and passion for the art of Oriental dance.
As a teacher, I’m proud to see my students grow into confident,
expressive dancers — many of them have become champions and
prizewinners at international competitions. Sharing my knowledge and
passion is what truly fulfills me; helping others unlock their
potential through dance.
DNA is designed for dancers of all levels.
Beginners
You will learn each movement step by step, with clear explanations of body position and mechanics.
Experienced and professional dancers
You will go far beyond the basics. You will refine intricate small-muscle technique, explore greater amplitude and learn to control movements at different speeds — from slow, sustained execution to sharp acceleration. You will also learn how to layer abdominal work over hip movements and use breath consciously, so your dance feels more fluid, expressive and sensual.
Teachers
You will discover many of Ekaterina’s original exercises, as well as a clear, structured system that can enrich the way you teach technique to your own students.
You do not need to be advanced to begin — you only need the desire to improve.
Of course, you will learn many new movements, variations and combinations inside DNA — but this is secondary.
The primary goal is to transform the quality of your technique. Knowing a movement and truly mastering it are two very different things.
DNA is not simply a library of belly dance movements. We study how the whole body works inside each movement: posture, muscle activation, isolation, amplitude, balance, breathing, arms, transitions and dynamics.
Even experienced dancers often discover why a familiar movement feels limited, unstable or disconnected — and how to transform it.
Not at all! Belly dance celebrates femininity at every age. Whether you’re 20 or 60, it helps you reconnect with your body, move gracefully, and feel radiant from within.
DNA is primarily a complete technique system, not a choreography course.
Inside the lessons, you will practise exercises, combinations and transitions that help you understand and remember the material. The goal is to give you technique that you can later use in any choreography or improvisation.
The Diamond package also includes a choice of an additional personal option, one of which may be an individual choreography of up to three minutes.
The lessons are taught in clear, easy-to-follow English.
Subtitles are available in English, Spanish and Russian, so you can choose the language that helps you understand the explanations most comfortably.
The visual demonstrations also make the technical material much easier to follow.
Yes. The lessons include practical exercises and assignments that help you integrate the technique into your body.
You will not receive only a simple ‘good’ or ‘wrong’ answer. The purpose of the feedback is to show you what is happening in your body, what needs to change and how to practise it more effectively.
No. The main course consists of recorded lessons, so you can study at a time that works for you, wherever you live.
If your package includes live Zoom meetings, the schedule and details will be shared with you separately.
Travelling or living in a different time zone will not prevent you from following the course.
You do not need to train for several hours every day.
Even 30–45 minutes of focused practice several times a week can create meaningful progress. You can move through the course at your own pace during your access period.
Consistency is more important than trying to complete everything quickly. DNA is a system to be absorbed into the body, not a race to the final lesson.
You do not need to arrive flexible, strong or perfectly coordinated. These are qualities you will develop throughout the course.
The program includes work on mobility, posture, balance, leg strength, feet, knees, isolations and coordination.
Begin at a comfortable pace, respect your body and never continue through sharp pain. If you have an injury or medical limitation, please consult your doctor or physiotherapist before training.
No. You can study at home in comfortable clothes, with enough space to move safely.
A mirror can be helpful but is not essential. For certain exercises, Ekaterina may recommend simple training equipment, but you do not need a professional studio or an oriental costume to begin.
Your living room is perfectly acceptable — even if the cat believes it is her private studio.
The course is hosted online on the Kwiga learning platform.
After joining, you will receive instructions for accessing your personal account and lessons. You can study from your phone, tablet or computer with an internet connection.
Your access duration depends on the package you choose.
Yes. You can pay in 2 or 3 parts with no extra fees.
You can also reserve your place with a €50 deposit and then contact our support team to arrange the remaining payments.
