Behind the scenes: Creating my new Ursula-inspired bellydance

Life Update: Ursula Performance, Mom Life, and New Studio

I have a lot to share with you in my newest tearful and revealing podcast episode. During this 23 minute chat I talk about: The ability of the creative process to show you how powerful you are Refusing to use dance as a site for self harm Navigating chapters of life where you don’t recognize yourself Finding the hope and self-belief to build a new life Searching for balance between being a parent and an artist Reflections on the dark goddess How I feel about the debut performance of my Ursula-inspired bellydance What I'm excited to create with you in my new dance studio 🫣 I almost didn’t release this episode but something inside me said there are other dancers out there who need to hear it. By the way! There are still a few spots left in my drum solo choreography workshop [https://aprilrose.samcart.com/products/drum-solo-workshop] this Sunday! 12 months access to the workshop recordings are included with enrollment!

Frame Drum for Bellydance

When you drum and dance simultaneously you quickly access the flow state. A state of existing in and expanding the present moment. You are spending time in deep connection with your body. In our increasingly digital and solitary world, we need more ways of deeply connecting with our bodies. Not more ways of numbing out, but more ways of feeling in. The way you feel is your gift to others. When you are tapped in to a present state of safety and calm, not only does it unlock creativity within you, it radiates outward and helps others as well. I want everyone to experience this calming creative joyful medicine, so I’m FINALLY making my best workshops on frame drum for bellydance available to everyone who needs it! I am releasing my Frame Drum for Bellydance workshop bundle so that you can play frame drum while bellydancing, too! This workshop bundle will teach you how to: Play bellydance rhythms on frame drum in upright style Add bellydance to your frame drum playing Even if you have never bellydanced or played frame drum before, Frame Drum for Bellydance is going to make it so much simpler and faster for you to start drumming while dancing! ➡️ Get the Frame Drum for Bellydance workshop bundle for just $34 now!
