    What is Tarab with Zara Dance

    Today? Zara Dance joins us to talk about the concept of Tarab. These are some of my favorite words. Words that simply don’t have a translation in other languages. Every language has a word or phrase or saying that just doesn’t have a direct translation. And while that’s beautiful, it can also cause some misconceptions. Join Zara as she talks about what Tarab is and answers a oft-asked question. Can you only do it to Umm Kulthom music? You can find links to all Zara’s amazing work at thebellydancebundle.com/109

    Warming Up & Cooling Down with The Dance Safe Project

    Today we have Melbourne, Australian based creator of The Dance Safe Project, Prue, joining us to chat all about warmups and cooldowns. Sometimes the practices that will keep us dancing the longest are the easiest to implement, and the easiest to skip when you’re on a tight schedule. Prue goes into why warm ups and cool downs are so important, and talks a bit about how we can make these practices more accessible to everyone with just a couple of modifications. And if you’re looking for a quick warmup you can do in a tight space?

    Creating Practice with Lisa-Jean

    Today we have Lisa-Jean here to talk to us about creating a practice. A busy mom of three, Lisa-Jean realized that very few dancers actually TEACH us how to practice, or how to fit time into our busy schedules to dance.  And I’m so on board, it’s one of the reasons we’ve created so many of the resources we have around here at the Bellydance Bundle! Lisa chats with you today about getting specific on your dance goals, finding the time to practice, and one big shift in how you structure your practice time can make a huge difference. She’ll go into a little bit about how to take bits and pieces from workshops into a smaller, more compact practice that’s easier to fit into your day And of course, the most important bit. Having fun along the way. You can learn more about Lisa-Jean and her work by following her on social and checking out her site. Links to all those cool places can be found on the podcast page at www.thebellydancebundle.com/105
