Advance Your Bellydance™ PodcastEpisode 91: MINISODE: Bellydance, Mental Health & Social MediaMental Health Day was a month ago but I wanted to bring this topic up as this year I wanted to focus more on a wholesome approach to your bellydance business; no matter where you are in your journey, you can always learn tools to overcome feelings of doubt and stress, stop comparing yourself to others and set out to accomplish your goals.

www.advanceyourbellydance.com2019-11-0403 minYallah RaqsFinding The Right ToolsI want you to keep practicing this dance, at home, on your own time, because I feel that that is where the magic happens.
But to do so, you need to find the tools that are going to support you in that practice.
Today I talk about what a tool actually is in your bellydance practice, and how you can find the ones that are going to work for you going forward.
Then we'll combine the lessons from all of our days to show you how you now have all you need to...2019-10-2309 minYallah RaqsImpostor SyndromeToday I asked if you ever felt like an impostor.
So, by that I mean. You wonder who on earth you are to be dancing on this stage, in this restaurant, at this hafla, even in the class that’s a level up from your normal one.
Feelings of doubt and shame around your dance, like you don’t know enough, aren’t good enough, or hell aren’t the right size/shape/color/age for this.
Well, you don't have to feel this way, and today we'll talk about how to make getting...2019-10-2208 minYallah RaqsMotivation & AccountabilitySo before we jump in. Disclaimer. I hate the word motivation.
I straight up think it’s garbage.
And that may not be a popular opinion, but it’s one I have none the less.
I can’t think of a single thing that I’m motivated to do every single day. Except maybe reading. But even after a couple of days of my favorite novels, I need a bit of a break.
If you are waiting for motivation to get you out on the dance floor that just comes from nowhere...2019-10-2108 minYallah RaqsSelf ExperimentationExperimenting is key to figuring out how you can get yourself onto the dance floor in a consistent manner.
Knowing yourself and what makes you tick makes it SO MUCH EASIER to make your practice stick, but you've got to figure out what that is first.
So today, I come to you to talk about where to get started when you're trying to experiment on yourself and with your practice.
How do you know when to get started, and how often should you check in on your experiments? How do tweak and change...2019-10-2010 minYallah RaqsDealing with OverwhelmYou’ve learned a couple of different ways to set Goals, you’ve heard how the dance has changed as our contributors have entered it ad different times, you’ve learned about the history of zills, musicality, style, authenticity, music, I mean what HAVEN’T we covered?
A lot.
Here’s the thing, there is SO much to know in this dance, and most of it isn’t cut and dried.
There are nuances, variations, multiple explanations and pathways and options.
So today I wanted to talk to you about overwhelm and how it’s...2019-10-1923 minYallah RaqsGoals with SadieToday, we’re talking a LOT about goals.
One of the hardest things to define in our dance, since our dance is so hard to measure progress in.
But don’t worry, because Sadie has got you covered.
We’ll talk about what it takes to have your dance show up for you, why improv is a necessary part of your dance, why using video to practice is KEY, and of course, how to set goals and measure your progress.
This is another interview that is just PACKED with goodies and I can’...2019-10-1846 minYallah RaqsStage Presence with Ranya ReneeDo you think that stage presence requires an actual stage? What about a performance space at all?
I have a feeling that today is going to open your eyes.
Today’s guest Ranya is contributing a live talk on Stage Presence to this year’s bundle, so today we’re doing a deep dive in a couple of aspects of stage presence. What it is, how often you REALLY use it, and a couple of exercisese to help you practice. Whether you’re on the stage or not.
It can feel like a tricky t...2019-10-1740 minYallah RaqsSelf Doubt & Self Confidence with Terri AllredDo you ever find yourself on a negative hamster wheel of self-talk?
Why aren’t I better at this?
Is my dancing good enough?
I’m so lazy, I must not care enough?
Sound familiar?
We ALL go through this, and we all have to find our own way to deal with it. Self-doubt is a killer of dreams, and well, we’re not standing for it anymore.
Terri is here with me today to talk about Self-Doubt, and Self-confidence and to share some ideas on how you ca...2019-10-1637 minYallah RaqsMusicality & Style with Amanda RoseMusicality and style are two of the biggest things in our dance.
You hear about them ALL. THE. TIME
The context varies, but the terms stay the same.
Perhaps you’re learning more about musicality and expressing it through improv, or you’ve heard mention of style, but have no idea what your style even is.
Neither is an easy thing to master, but they can be so much fun.
And today Amanda Rose joins us to talk about them. You can hear that she is passionate about the subj...2019-10-1544 minYallah RaqsThe Routine with Heather WaymanIf you’ve been listening to our episodes, you’ve heard mention a couple of times of a “routine” as some of our contributors talk about their origin stories in bellydance.
Now, you may or may not be familiar with that phrase as this isn’t something that’s done nearly as often anymore.
Our guest Heather Wayman from The Bellydance Geek joins us today to de-mystefy the routine and You’ll learn the routines place in our dance history as well as the ways we can adapt that to our dance practices today.
2019-10-1432 minYallah RaqsHip Circles & SEEDS with Myra KrienToday’s guest Myra will be joining in the bundle as a contributor, but she was actually involved last year too, as our donation partner!
We’re going for round two this year and donating at least 8 dollars from every sale of the bundle to SEEDS, a wonderful program that Myra’s going to tell you more about that supports young women through dance.
In addition to our talks on SEEDS we also do a little bit of deep dive on hip circles. How there are WAY more than you think, and how you can start...2019-10-1329 minYallah RaqsLesson Plans for Practice with Sara ShrapnellIf you’re a teacher, then you’re familiar with lesson plans, in theory, if not in practice.
And as a student of bellydance? You may not have ever given it a second thought.
But there’s a lot of value to be gained from planning out your practice. Namely, you know what you’re doing when you get to the dance floor.
Combine that with a goal and you have all the makings of success.
Sara Shrapnell joins me today to talk about lesson plans and how you can apply them bot...2019-10-1244 minYallah RaqsJoy & Improv with Alia ThabitI learned SO much about improv from this interview, and I can’t wait for you to dive in. It’s given me a whole new view of not only improv’s place in this dance, but also HOW MANY things in our lives are improvised.
Sometimes you just have to put things in that context to make something way less scary.
Today's guest Alia has spent her whole career in this dance improvising, and she has so much knowledge to share.
You’ll learn why improv is embedded into the hear of this dan...2019-10-1147 minYallah RaqsTaking Class to Practice with AzizaDo you ever feel like you have to run your personal practice like a dance class?
I’ve had people express this concern to me in the past, but in different ways. Mostly focused in the areas of the amount of time that you practice, and the content of their personal practice.
Today, I ask my guest Aziza how she structures her practice time, and some tips and tricks to make your practice your own and break away from the idea of treating your practice time like another class that you’re guilting yourself into taki...2019-10-1030 minYallah RaqsThe Sa‘id with Sahra KentSahra Kent is the powerhouse behind Journey Through Egypt and today she joins us to get nerdy about the Sa’id.
For those of you who don’t know, it’s a region of Egypt, and where the dance you’ve heard of, Sa’idi, hails from. Sa’idi means of the Sa’id.
Don’t worry though, by the end of this podcast, you’ll know a lot more about this region!
We talk about the dances of the Sa'id, not only how they're portrayed in the hometowns and cities, but also how these dances a...2019-10-0938 minYallah RaqsThe Golden Age with Adriane DellorcoAre you in love with the Golden Age of Egyptian Cinema?
I think that most dancers are at some point in their journeys. Seeing these videos can inform a lot about our dance history, and provide a really interesting look into the time period that they were made.
Adriane has taken the time to break down some of these videos to bring to you the technique and the styles shown by the famous dancers of this age and turned them into a course.
So today she joins us to talk about some of...2019-10-0827 minYallah RaqsSoul & Style with MoroccoMorocco joins us today to explain the differences in Raqs Sharqi and Raqs Shaabi, she shares with us how she learned this dance in the age before the internet, and of course, a way that you can emulate that experience to get to the core of this dance.
2019-10-0743 minYallah RaqsCostuming & Sewing with Mao MurakamiAs bellydancers we have a LOT in common, and one of those things?
A love for the costumes. Whether those be the sparkly kind, the fluffy kind, the elaborate kind, fake flowers, or rhinestones, we all fall in love with the costuming of our styles and of this dance.
Today’s guest Mao Murakami of TheSparklyBelly.com, has taken that love a bit further and has established an entire site that’s dedicated to helping dancers dream up and create their own costumes.
Even if you have no idea how to sew.
So...2019-10-0736 minYallah RaqsBellydance Research with NisaaKnowing the history and culture of our dance are so important. It’s so important in fact that it seems to have become a bit of a theme around here with these Bundle interviews. It comes up time and time again, and it’s great to hear in theory, but how do you put it into practice?
Research can be a four letter word to some of us. We don’t know where to start and it seems scary. I mean, who are we to take that on?
You’re a dancer, that’s who. You are pe...2019-10-0640 minYallah RaqsMusic & Musicality with ShahrzadMusic drives our dance. The music is what we aim to express with our bodies, it inspires us, and it is, a lot of times, what brings people into this dance.
To say it’s important would be a bit of an understatement.
Shahrzad has spent almost her whole life as a bellydancer, and now lives and performs in Cairo. She talks with us today about the importance of musicality, how she organizes her playlists, and some tips and tricks on how to make it part of your bones.
2019-10-0529 minYallah RaqsAnatomy & Exercise Science with MahinHaving a working knowledge of your body can help you IMMENSELY in dance. It's all about working with your body instead of fighting against it.
Today's guest, Mahin, is a lifelong dancer who has also studied exercise science, and if you don't get up and move or at least adjust your posture once during this episode, I'll be surprised.
We talk about the importance of knowing basic anatomy, how descriptive teaching can have such a dramatic effect on students, and my personal favorite, The Glitter Theory.
2019-10-0444 minYallah RaqsZills, History, and Practice with Dawn DevineToday, Dawn Devine joins us to chat all about Zills. We talk about her experience as a baby dancer with them and how that interest combined forces with her academia studies to lead her to discovering more and more about the history of zills.
We chat about how old Zills REALLY are, and how much commitment it can take learn to be a musician AND a dancer by learning to play the zills.
A great mix of history and practical tips for your practice await you!
2019-10-0348 minYallah RaqsKhaleeji Inspiration with SahiraYou'll often come across Khaleeji breaks in bellydance music. But what should you do during them?
Khaleeji of course, if you have the skills!
Today, Sahira and I chat about how she's created a Khaleeji Drum Solo Choreography Class for this year's Bellydance Bundle.
We talk about the way that cross-training in Khaleeji has influenced Sahira's personal style, and could affect yours, and of course one of the best ways to do research on this amazing dance.
So join us today for some hair-tossing fun as we talk about this dance...2019-10-0223 minYallah RaqsYour Dance Goals with Victoria TeelI should work on my veil because everyone does a veil piece right? I should practice more because people tell me it’s good for me. I should learn that style of dance. I should, I should, I should.
Well today, you’re going to learn why you should stop with that.
Today’s guest, Victoria, has made it one of her goals to help you figure out yours.
But for today, we’re talking about why goal setting is so important, some of the roadblocks we run into as dancers, and of course, so...2019-10-0127 minYallah RaqsHands & Arms with Rosa NoreenWhen we first start dancing there is SO MUCH to keep track of that Arms are one of those things we tend to leave to the sidelines.
But today’s guest, Rosa, has spent a lot of time figuring out just how to make us aware of them again.
Rosa shares with us why exactly it is that your arms and hands draw so much attention (I hope you have a duh moment like I did!), a good way to build awareness of your arms, and why you should be obsessed with your hands
2019-09-3026 minYallah RaqsBellydance & Fitness with Oreet from SharQuiCan you imagine being raised with Bellydance and not liking it at all, only to find it again as an adult and make it your career?
That's exactly how Oreet found her way to being the founder of SharQui: The Bellydance Workout which has been featured on more media outlets that we have space to name right now!
SharQui focuses on bridging the gap that can sometimes exist between fitness and dance, and today we dive into how you can incorporate more fitness into your dance as a dance teacher OR a student, and how...2019-09-2928 minYallah RaqsYou Are EnoughLet's take a moment to step back before we dive into the #21daysofbellydance challenge on Instagram and realize that we want to be doing all of this work on improving our practice and technique from a positive place. Not one of deficiency.
Because you deserve it.
We'll also discuss the important concepts of consistency and motivation.
