The 30-day belly dance improv challenge | RAQS and... →
I’ve been working on improv a lot, and had (what I thought) were a few pretty good improvisations at my performance yesterday. Still, it’s something that’s hard for me, and there are specific things I’d like to work on, including dynamics, varying arm positions and holding onto my posture (which seems to be the first thing to go when nerves or the unknown kick in!). I’ve been reading up on...

Question For My Belly Dance Siblings
rosalinddancer:
Have you ever encountered/seen a dancer who has come from a different background and doesn’t seem to fully GET that this dance is COMPLETELY different than most other dance forms out there?
I have a dancer in my troupe, who is the SWEETEST woman in the world (albeit a BIT ditsy but a good woman all the same), but no matter what myself or my Director try to teach her, nothing...

A New Policy Against Self-Harm Blogs
staff:
One of the great things about Tumblr is that people use it for just about every conceivable kind of expression. People being people, though, that means that Tumblr sometimes gets used for things that are just wrong. We are deeply committed to supporting and defending our users’ freedom of speech, but we do draw some limits. As a company, we’ve decided that some specific kinds of content...

It's belly dance day.
We have an audition this Wednesday for the talent show. Yesterday, Colin finalized his song and last night, I started working on the choreography. Not having a regular teacher, I’m not very knowledgeable about creating choreography so I was a little overwhelmed. I love to improvise to music but I haven’t worked on a structured dance. I did find a page that was helpful, though: How to...

Just bought a top and pantaloons for a talent show the husband and I MAY be participating in. We still have to audition but I think we’ll get through. C-dog will be accompanying me with his guitar, he’ll be playing a medley of sorts.

Almost every black person I have seen LIVES off food stamps. They have children just so they can get MORE food stamps and welfare checks, and after they get them, they have no gratitude. To them, they are ENTITLED. Black people are the biggest entitlement people there are. They don’t the fact that food stamps are paid for by real taxpayers. Black people are only 13% of...

So, some white feminists found it appropriate to post the picture of a battered Rihanna to make their point????? WHAT THE FUCKING HELL??? You spend hours talking about trigger this, trigger that but have so little respect for a BLACK WOMAN victim of abuse that you are ready to post a STOLEN picture of her. Rihanna said several times how humiliating and hurtful it was for...
