Summer 2024 Belly Dance Wrap Up, Part One

It’s been an exciting summer of belly dance with classes and performances. In the next few posts I’ll share some of what we’ve been up to!

First off, a small group of my students from Better Together Dance Theatre and I performed at Carnival of Stars 2024! It was our first performance together as Troupe Alisa and their first time performing at a belly dance festival. We had great time preparing for and performing in this show. I’m so proud of their hard work. We put our entire set together with very little time and they did a stellar job!

The following day I had the honor of performing the in Carnival of Stars Gala Showcase to live music with Pangia.

I’ll share video from these shows and more of our summer adventures in the coming weeks.

Tonight is our last night of summer classes at Better Together Dance Theatre. Then we take a two week break and come back refreshed for our Fall season. My fall teaching schedule is available on my Classes page - come dance with us!

Dance With Me Practice Video

Sorry I’m a day late, but I’ve got a new practice video for you!

Today’s focus is traveling movements with hip accents. The video starts with a slow, in-place section where we practice our figure 8s, undulations and hip circles.

As always, this video is an improvisation so it also gives you a feeling for responding naturally to the music.

Email readers can view the video here.
