‘Who are you?’ said the Caterpillar. Alice replied, rather shyly, ‘I – I hardly know, sir, just at present – at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.’
In this discussion, we are going to break down the function of the dancer vs teacher vs performer and work out how each is different from the other. Plus take a look at our own skill sets and wants and see if we can spot where we sit and who we’d like to become.
What will you learn?
Be Part of the Belly Dance Community’s Evolution.
Amanda will be presenting "Know Your Music" on the 2nd to last day of the event - January 25th at 8am AEDT / January 24th at 10pm CET.
Regardless of the style of bellydance you do, we all dance to songs. But, do you know what you are dancing to? It’s important not only for raqs sharqi dancers, but for any dancer to understand their song, what it means, if it has any specific cultural significance, or could cause backlash if used.
The funny thing is, it doesn’t take long to get started with researching your track. This session will give you practical suggestions on where to start, what to look for and why it’s important – not just for your own integrity, but also for how belly dance is presented.
