Creative process...for me, sometimes inspiration strikes like a lightning bolt. Other times, it cooks slowly. This section is a small part of a choreogepahy I'd procrastinated finishing. Not because I didn't want to do it, I just couldn't commit my ideas to paper yet. Creative drive has been coming up with several of my students and dance partners lately. Here are a few tips. Set reasonable expectations. Most creative work won't be done quickly. Start by scheduling time to play. Think of it as doodling. Don't expect a finished result. Once you have a rough outline of things you do consistently, start finalizing sections. Set reasonable goals. Yesterday, I had one hour between rehearsals and classes. I determined I would finalize the 30 second sequence. Setting intention is everything. Give yourself space for creativity. Creativity usually sparks from boredom. The problem is, modern life leaves little time for a wandering mind. If you're in a creative field, make a habit of even 5 minutes of doing nothing. Some of the best ideas come in still moments. That's all for now! Come see this finished work June 29th at the Corbin Center! #creativity #creation #choreography #process #artisticprocess #choreogeapher #dancechoreography #bellydance #teacher #danceteacher #artist #movement #northwestbellydance #rehearsal #zodiactheshow #nefabit #wanderer

Class openings in JUNE! Tuesday is FULL, but Monday 5pm and Thirsday 7pm are open for enrollment! Bellydance is a fun and low-impact exercise. Tone muscles you didn't even know you had! Bellydancing particularly targets obliques, psoas, transverse abdominals, glutes, quads and hamstrings! Bellydancing in one form or another has been around for thousands of years, though what we know of today as "bellydance" dates back to the 1800s and 1900s.

No time to practice? Got 5 Minutes?

I find myself frequently talking with my students about practice. It is so important, and the students who do practice improve so much more quickly than those who do not. Yet, we all know that feeling when life gets in the way. We have the best intentions and even set aside time to practice, but […]

If you dance to Middle Eastern music, or work for Middle Eastern clubs or clients, it’s important to know at least a sampling of Arabic vocabulary. Here are a couple of starter words that are commonly heard in music to help you identify the type of song, even if you don’t understand every word. Is […]
