New Year, New You?
Do you make resolutions for the new year? Goals? Intentions? Whatever you call them, taking a bellydance class could be part of your list!
Several years ago, I started setting dance goals for myself. They gave me something specific to focus on, whether it was to learn a new style or prop, create a special choreography, or venture into hosting and teaching workshops. "If you build it, they will come" tended to be true. Setting a goal to learn more about folkloric styles led me to studying with Sahra Saeeda via her Journey Through Egypt courses (which changed my dance path in so many ways). Creating a vintage style tribute choreography manifested in "Raks Katy" for the 2017 Virginia Theatrical Bellydance show. Opportunities for teaching workshops have opened up for me in 2018 and coming up in 2019.
If you've never tried bellydance, if not now, when? You might fall in love with it like so many others (including me!) At least you'll know you've tried it.
If you have taken a class before and took a break for a few months, or even years, we'd love to have you dance with us. You know there's still a shimmy inside of you.
If you have been taking classes with me regularly, I'd love to know what goals you are setting for yourself. I'd love to help you work towards them!
Here's to whatever wonderful things are waiting for all of us in 2019!
