Hello, my dance friends! Today, I get to chat with the glamorous Liz Azi, a gorgeous and talented Transnational Fusion and Raqs Sharqi dance artist based out of Colorado.   

We focus in on her research data, process, and conclusions from her thesis paper, entitled Bellydance in the United States: Cultural Productions of Alternative Health Narratives and Practices. This research is specifically gathered from within the World and/or Transnational Fusion/MENAHT/Raqs Sharqi (commonly referred to as Bellydance) community, and Liz discusses some of the cultural, historical, and medical info included in creating her conclusions.  

Throughout her research, she is able to link alternative, thoroughly researched, sometimes community based and/or individually derived health regimens, linked to a few different factors that Liz explains during our visit.

Show my professional performer guests some love by visiting their social media, taking some online class offerings, watching some upcoming online showcases, or even sending them cashola for their time and expertise on this channel--details below for supporting your local (and otherwise;) artists!
