Read the Instagram post/video for the entire description but TLDR: 1. Belly dance is a cultural art deserving of respect as much as any other sport or concert dance, and deserves bigger stages/venues 2.

What do you think? Made the video and rant after snooping too much on Reddit and seeing some of the NSFW belly dance subreddits which take women’s videos (often without pe ..read more

A couple of months ago I rolled my ankle after falling on some ice, and while a first I had no issues a little over a month later it started hurting if I stood on it for too long (my workplace does not allow us to sit down unless we're on break or lunch) and it's now gotten to the point where I've been having to wear a compression sock to alleviate some of the pain while standing. I want to keep practicing, but every time I get int ..read more

Hello!
I'm new-ish to belly dancing, and recently started taking group classes. I'm struggling a lot with mastering the footwork for the different isolations and combinations. Does anyone have any suggestions for good online videos that really break down the footwork fundamentals in a super beginner-friendly way? I'm open to free or paid options, just mostly looking for super clear steps.
