Improvisation Technique

For the Dance

Improvisation has been an integral part of dance for so long, that it was never necessary to teach it. Wherever 'sharing dance' is a natural part of community life, the art of improvisation still thrives.

"Truth" and "Authenticity"

There is a beautiful dance in every single person and living thing.

In performing Bellydance, we share a bit of ourself with others, and get to know them better too. There is a relationship between the performer, the music and the audience.

It is well and good to dance for yourself and savor the sensation of movement and also seek to give to others a sense of joy, pleasure, healing and peace.
