Welcome to my website!
I, Said el Amir aka Gerd Mittag, provide interested dancers and dance teachers with all the necessary tools for their dance and/or dance teaching career based on scientific findings, both in seminars and as open access literature.
To this end, I draw on the knowledge gained from over 35 years of dance pedagogy, two Master's programs in Dance Science (one with distinction) and a Master's program in Professional Pedagogy (Master's thesis 1.0) both in dance classes and in theoretical seminars.
I am currently writing down my pedagogical-didactic know-how in my doctoral thesis at the Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg on the subject of "Pedagogy-supporting teaching methods for non-academic dance styles".
As a multilingual lecturer (German, English, French, Spanish) and international performer, I look forward to receiving inquiries for training courses, intensives or workshops from all over the world. If you are interested and/or have any questions, simply send an uncomplicated e-mail to info@jomdance.com.
Sicerely, Said el Amir (aka Gerd Mittag)
Trust me, you can dance!

jomdance is:
Colorful as a rainbow and clear as the water. The movement repertoire that I learned within jomdance is not only technically sound and skillfully combined, but above all an enrichment and addition for Middle Eastern dance. jomdance is like an answer to all questions while dancing.

Due to the extensive background knowledge of Said el Amir both in classical Middle Eastern dance, as well as in modern dance styles and also in dance medicine issues and his constructive, warm-hearted and yet demanding way of teaching, I was able to improve myself tremendously both technically and in expression and was encouraged to cross some personal limits in dance.

jomdance opens up unprecedented opportunities for choreography and teaching. Dancing vocabulary and professional implementation correspond to international standards of dance pedagogy. The jomdance training is a quantum leap for every dance artist, no matter what level, no matter what function.
