 contacts

-Watch  videos of great masters of dance,always!

From them we are in contact with  the real and truly most artistic  Oriental dance.  Fifi Abdo, Najua Fuad, Souhair Zaki, Nadia Gamal, Mona Said-among others-with them I´ve learned and I´m still learning when I watch them now.  I sujest you gather with friends ,watching and doing the movements.

-Work out to shape your body

A professional dancer needs to work out her body for shape and power,sometimes we stay on stage dancing for more than one hour!I use to do ballet,body building ando jogging,besides  belly dance.In ballet we also practice posture, flexibility,stage tecnique,acting. For people who do bely dance as an hobby,is important to keep  muscles strength specially the ones supporting  the column,(on this case, body building is necessary)like this you can dance till 80 and plus! 

always on shape

-Belly Dance is a serious and profound study

Study,know where all the different dance styles come from ,what are the apropriate costums for each dance and style, acting, interpreting, specially the arab  idiom , know at leat what is the meaning of the title of the music we´re dancing

 Oriente is magic...perfumes,colours ,persian rugs, exotic food,the language ,the costumes,and life styles.Ask to know the meaning of the habits, you´ll be surprised.All this wil make your dance richer.You have to fll the real arab music,tht´s the secret to the real dance,is pure feeling.

-You´re the one who´s in charge of your work

For  profissionals:you´re the one who  defines your show´s  quality. do seu .Whwen you feel people are underestimating your art,say: No!Request an adequate space for you dance (in case there´s no stage)a palce to dress confortably (and descreetely)You´re the one who does the show,remeber that.Know the value of your work! 

Require an adequate place to dance 

-What you send to the Universe ,you receive  back

Give friends information about dance,(and good teachers)being generous ,all what we do, one day will return ,if not by the same person, on another ocaison,when we least expect.Thast´s the way it goes.

 

-Work out your energy of love

What we express on stage is what we are inside. 

As much as we are secure, loving and in peace with

 ourselves,more care, respect and attention we´ll have

 from audience.Our work is to take happiness to all places,

 our dance,a act of love to God and everything that exists.
