April Rose’s Masters Thesis:
https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7c06j7fs
Fusion bellydancer, Lamia Barbara, recently released an interview she did with me in 2021 on her Dancing Goddess podcast. It’s an interesting conversation where she asked me…
- How did dance enter your life?
- How does the goddess appear in your dance?
- What advice would you give to new fusion bellydancers?
- What is your creative process when you make a new dance?
- How would you define fusion bellydance?
- Give it a listen for some inspiration, a new perspective, and some practical creative tips!
PS: you still have time to enroll in my LIVE online workshop happening this weekend, July 12! If you can’t make the workshop time you can still enroll and get one year access to the recording! I’m teaching a fusion veil choreography. No prior bellydance or veil experience required! Seasoned dancers are sure to learn some new veil tricks AND a choreography you can perform anywhere!
12 months access to the workshop recordings are included with enrollment!
And all workshop participants are welcome to perform this choreography anywhere they like (this high energy impressive dance is SUPER useful if you are a gigging performer!)
And if you don't live near Austin but you still want to learn and perform the drum solo: you can learn it inside my self-study online program my teacher training online coaching program and on as well!
