April Rose and Stephanie Chiang talk about how the “productive struggle” needed to learn bellydance yields a feeling of confidence and satisfaction that is difficult to replicate anywhere else.
We also discuss how:
Being a parent informs our purpose in dance
We avoid the trap of comparison
We are healing ourselves through dance
Being a dance teacher is a personal and spiritual challenge
We navigate the online space
Dance is the most efficient way to spend your time to get maximum benefit
Creativity is the key to happiness
Stephanie is planning to launch ambitious theater show “Gift of the Nile” on 11/7 & 11/8
WATCH Belly Dance Veil, Multi-Tonal Cymbals & Floorwork
Watch one of the most technical choreos of the show!
“Baladna” interweaves multi-tonal combinations by maestra April Rose, resulting in a tapestry that Stephanie is proud to perform as her arrangement.
Big thanks to April, who taught Stephanie how to play multi-tonal finger cymbals and play the frame drum while dancing.
Stephanie is honored to be a certified teacher through April’s brilliant Dance Cohesion program, and looks forward to being a lifelong learner!
“Your technique and finger cymbals are absolutely gorgeous. I cannot wait for the moment that we get to dance together and drum together in person. I would just be so so so thrilled to share the stage with you.” ~April Rose
