Are you a new belly dance performer or maybe you would like to perform and you want to know what you should be working on to lay the best performance skill foundation? Anna’s “New Performer Series” will help teach you everything you need to be thinking about and practicing during this stage of your belly dance performance journey.
The first video in this series, Anna will be talking about the importance of counting your music from the very beginning of your dance training. Counting, both audible or using your inner voice in your head or humming in your throat, will help to build a strong connection from mind to body. Developing this internal timing benefits the dancer in so many ways. The dancer will be able to make more smooth transitions, an essential skill for advanced dancers, and have more confident footwork. The dancer is one-with-the-music because they feel the beat.
