Learning choreography without thinking is dangerous. You don’t get the chance to really review yourself and further develop your own style. Perhaps for those choreography-only dancers, one’s own style is not what they want.With such strong demand of choreography, bringing back from other masters overseas is not enough. DVD becomes another major source for choreography, and now it is Youtube.

Another issue, or symptom from the heavily-choreography-oriented phenomenon is that people either misunderstand or improperly interpret this dance, simply because they know nothing about the history, culture, and society where the dance is originated. Language barrier may explain part of the reasons and I truly believe that this should not be an excuse, especially for those who make living with

Choreography truly means a lot to local bellydance community.Students and instructors all are so accustomed with the idea of learning bellydance via choreography that sometimes it causes problems, well, at least some potential problems.One of the biggest issues from such heavily-choreography-oriented phenomenon is that we are kind of kept away from learning more about bellydance in a wider and

Many dancers and students here like me, have a love-hate relationship with the issue of choreography.Choreography is a great way to put everything together and have some fun. We learned bellydance through choreographies brought back by our teachers when bellydance was first introduced to Taiwan. Since the demands grew so fast while instructors who were capable and available then were relatively

Upcoming Certification Workshop, Upcoming StudentsIn a way, certification program becomes one of the great ways to encourage students signing up for more preparation classes in advanced – in order to pass major examinations we often go to preparation classes to ensure we know everything that will be covered in examinations. Some local studios or instructors will have such customerized classes to

This is something I really want to write about for so long!Century-old Custom in a New FashionCertification means a lot to local bellydance community and in the meanwhile, they sometimes take it too easy after being certificated.I learn about the concept of certification back to my graduate school years in United States.

http://www.jamieoliver.com/foodwise/article-view.php?id=2038Undoubtedly, tribal bellydance attracts a younger population into bellydance community. When I taught ATS before my surgery last April, I have half of students who were young girls around mid-late 20s while the rest are more mature ladies. Almost all my young students want to be like Rachel. They regarded ATS as the preparation for

As bellydance became increasingly popular, the existing resource could no longer satisfy local dancers and students' strong desire to learn more about this dance and its related information.Since bellydance was first promoted as “seductive” and “mystique” harem dance from Middle East, it is very rational to conclude that we should go to the land of cultural root for the best learning experiences.

Cover of the first Bellydance book at Taiwan by Violet Mozaini Photo from http://www.panoramio.com/photo/5546983As I said before, the development of bellydance at Taiwan is relatively new, comparing to its other Western communities. Even Japan and Korea have longer history of bellydance experiences than we have.Around 2002 to 2003, it all started from simply sharing what she learned and enjoyed

When I first started my Chinese blog "Little Eye Lisa's OS on Dance" (http://atsforeverlisa.blogspot.com/), I simply wished to share my passion and love of ATS and tribal bellydance to my local dance colleagues: there was not much information and knowledge in Chinese available then. Honestly, it pretty much remains the way it used to be few years ago.It all started with journey notes. I travel a
