A super easy way to make time for your belly dance practice!
What if I told you there is a super easy way to create an hour a day (or more!) to dedicate to your dance practice?
Would you believe me?
Here’s another question:
Do you feel like you have enough time to dedicate to your dance practice?
When I ask this question to dancers, pretty much everyone says no.
While we are all gifted 24 hours each day to create a life that we love, managing that time while negotiating all the other demands and activities in your schedule can be incredibly challenging.
And often times the activities in our day that are for US - dancing, singing, reading, walking in nature - get pushed to the bottom of our calendar and therefor never happen.
Sound familiar? You are not alone.
I’ve struggled with the same thing too… so much so that I used to joke with my family about planting more ‘thyme’ in our garden so I could get everything done. (PS. It didn’t work. )
All jokes aside, I’m happy to report that since then I’ve spent some serious time studying productivity, essentialism and the science of happiness and I’ve learned many ways to take back my day and make more room for what I love most… like dance!
While there are big ways and changes you can make to your life to create massive amounts of time (imagine getting rid of your TV or finding a job that allows you to work from home) there are also hundreds of small and simple things you can do TODAY that will free up precious minutes for your dance practice.
I’ve compiled a list of my favorite easy time-creation methods into this free downloadable:
Making Time For Your Dance Practice: 12 Easy Ways to Create Time To Do What You Love Most.
Here’s one example from the guide. Multitask in your practice. Every single day I listen to educational audiobooks while doing stretching and strengthening exercises and you'll often find me doing squats while I brush my teeth. I've also been known to watch online dance class videos while cooking (though don't ask me about the mess I make when stirring the pot turns into traveling shimmies across the kitchen!)
I am so excited to share these ideas with you. These simple actions will help you free up anywhere from 5 to over 60 minutes in your day for whatever it is that fuels you most. You can download it for free now at:

So take two minutes to download it now and choose one thing you are going to try this week. And then drop me a line and let me know how it goes. I cannot wait to see what you accomplish with your newfound time!

The Hagallah Shimmy Demystified
Переглядів 936Місяць тому
This is one of those shimmies that really confuse dancers when it's not explained well. Which is too bad, because it's a REALLY good one! The Hagallah is a 3/4 shimmy on the down with a twist, stepping on the downbeat (....see how that might be confusing?) and it's used extensively in a folkloric dance of the same name. It also happens to be one of my favorite traveling shimmies - so you'll def...

We practiced with the recording for three months and then danced to the music LIVE!!! 🤯
Переглядів 6512 місяці тому
For some dancers, it's an absolute dream come true. For others it makes them break out in a serious sweat. I'm talking about dancing to live music. Belly dance at its core is an improvisational art form that historically was (obviously) always done to live music. The music and the dance were created in the moment, and often there was very little advanced coordination between dancer and musician...
Learn this belly dance move! The Moroccan Shimmy
Переглядів 1,8 тис.2 місяці тому
In this tutorial, we are going to dive deep into one of the more nuanced and lesser used shimmies in the bellydance vocabulary. This is the Moroccan Shimmy… It is part of the triplet shimmy family, but has a slightly different accent that sets it apart and makes it even more delicious and slightly more challenging to perform well. I will take you step-by-step through this beautiful shimmy, focu...

One of the many fabulous things about finger cymbals is the easy ability to see when you are improving! When you learn a new pattern or riff, slow and steady is the name of the game. As you begin to feel more comfortable and confident you can ramp up your speed and easily measure it using a metronome.

Can you be too old to learn the Turkish drop?
Why does my right arm start paining after i play for a while. Am i doing something wrong?
This was so helpful! Thank you!
Gefacineerd tot het eind ! Bravo ❤
Thank you Sahira!!! I wish you could be my teacher!! I have years without practicing and I'm coming back again, I forgot how much I love this (but it was easier when I was younger hahaha)
Love the dance and the music!!
Thank you for this! I was just thinking about how to make time to restart my practice. I am notorious about not going back to HOW to do something I want. This will prompt me to go do it. cross fingers... No. Not hope, do. (Is it Yoda who says "No try. Only do.) ☺

Moving your hips is absolutely phenomenal, mega captivating and very sensual! You make IT with incredible lighly, precision and great Control above your lovely body!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
mucho texto
That last tip was super helpful! Thank you!
Beautiful ❤
Love it! So happy to practice with You! ❤
Thank you for this new tutorial :) ❤❤❤
I love the Basic Egyptian paired with sideways 3/4 Shimmy. I may make that move a drill. Looks like fun with the Zrills ❤❤❤
I'm a clockwise girl, myself, although I'm usually comfortable going in either direction. Except with ribcage circles. Counterclockwise ribcage circles, aarghh!!
Thanks you so much ❤️, this move reminds me vertical hips circle, but I knew another technic. It's same move or not 🤔? That said, I really like this technique, I didn't know it before and I find that my movement is more fluid so thanks you 😊
Great tutorial, nicely explained
💝💝💝💝💝💝
Love you sexy bellydancer 🙏🤗❤️💃🥰😍😘🔝🆒🤗🥰😍😘
Your skill and passion truly shine through every move! I think you'll love our Muscle & Joint Pain Relief Cream products and would be a great fit for a partnership. Let's discuss further and send you some products to try out.
Not again
Great tutorial! Thanks. Belly roll after drinking has a side gift, ASMR sounds from the tummy lol :D
Good explanation. Now teach us to do flutters!
I am so excited and pleased as to watch video again I have learned so much knowledge about the belly dance skill in this video Thanks for your teaching Love you 😊
I bought my zills almost 8 years ago...and joined a class. I have found that hard because I couldn't follow the others and I just saved them in my cabinet. However I have always loved them and now I am giving myself and my zills the chance to interact and create more❤
I learned finger cymbals when I was a seasoned dancer.
Super helpful breakdown!! I've never seen it explained this way but makes total sense and I can visually see the differences now! Thank you so much!
💝💝💝💝💝💝
can you go through reverse roll too, cheers
I enjoy your belly rolling videos 😃.
Thanks you so much for sharing it's so difficult for me to master belly Roll, but it's Above all because I didn't have much time this year to practice belly rolls because there are so many other workouts or stretches to do for dance buuuut I'll practice it more often because I really want to like a golden Era dancer ❤️, love you 💖
Thank you ❤
Can u do. Video for shimmy with maya
Random question, what size and note are ðe zills you’re playing? (I’m guessing a D7 note) And do you know ðe size and note of ðe ones on Eternal Flame by ðe Bangles? I don’t believe it was a real zil but it definitely emulates ðe sound on ðe track. Beautiful teaching btw I want to explore ðe sounds and try and find a way of using multiple notes and beats
I just got my first pair today, trying to learn the basics to incorporate ir into the fantasy videos I create for my music
❤love the method . Worked well for me 😊
that was very helpful thank you!
💖Can you do an updated version of masmoudi on zills , with numbers? I really enjoy your videos 💖.
Love this combo
My wrist hurts when I do cane work in class. Does that mean I'm doing it wrong or that the cane is too heavy? Any suggestions?
