Class Combo Creation - 10/13/2010

2010-10-19T12:00:00.002-05:00

This fun combination was created by students in class on October 13, 2010. We began with each student drawing a movement from a basket. Then students were paired up to create a short combo using each move. Finally, all combos were strung together to create the following choreography.

Start with weight evenly distributed; facing audience; Temple Overhead Arms.

Combo A
Created By: Arlene and Chris

1-4: With Temple Overhead Arms, Head Slide R-L-R-L.
5-8: Float arms down to Rounded Framing Hips.
1-4: Slow and even Up/Down Shimmy (R up-down-up-down, L is opposite on each).
5-8: While raising arms up to Temple Overhead and maintaining Up/Down shimmy, Turn 1/4 turn to the R to face the R wall.

Combo B
Created By: Dee and Rita

1-4: While floating arms down to Modified T, L Hip Lift front-back-front-back.
5-8: Up/Down Shimmy with Crossing Arms.
1-4: Grapevine (step R foot behind L, step L open, step R foot in front, step L open).
5-8: R Hip Lift front-back-front-back.
1-4: Up/Down Shimmy with Crossing Arms.
5-8: Use the following to turn ¼ turn to the L to face the audience: Step L foot behind with 1/8 turn to L, Step R foot beside with another 1/8 turn to L. Step L foot in place, Step R foot in place.

Combo C
Created By: Dana, Keum, and Robyn

1-4: R Serving Arm. L Serving Arm.
5-8: R Serving Arm. L Serving Arm.
1-4: R Hip Lift front-back-front-center, change weight.
5-8: L Hip Lift front-back-front-center.
1-8: Up/Down Shimmy with Floreos as raising to Temple Overhead Arms.

*Repeat from beginning.

Acceptance in Movement

2010-10-16T10:29:00.000-05:00

In any state of being, there are bound to be disagreements. In nature a collision of atoms creates both life and vastly destructive storms. In beasts a confrontation may arise from a need to claim a territory or a mate. In humans, because we have the gift of thought and freewill, the results are varied and far reaching - from opening doors for new opportunities to closing entire sections of someone’s life.

Bellydance is a personal journey and is different for every individual who experiences it. For some it becomes an entire subculture of their lives consuming their waking moments through thought and action (and shopping!). For others it’s simply something to try or passing fad. Still others may find themselves somewhere in between the mix.

The people who become embraced within bellydance choose to follow one of the many schools of thought surrounding this multicultural art form or they create their own ideal and niche. Some view it as a chance to learn about another culture’s rites of passage, customs, and lifestyle. Some choose to use it as an opportunity for self-growth in mind-body-spirit health and wellness. Some experience it through the simple sheer joy of movement!

Within bellydance, as in any multifaceted, long-standing activity, there are naturalists (the people who want the art to stay as it has always been, or how they believe it has always been) and fusionists (the people who choose to take what they know about one art and fuse it with what they know about other arts and possibly throw in some of their own personal flare along the way). To many naturalists, those who fuse are viewed as a threat to the sacredness of the puritanical form. To the fusionists, the individuals who choose not to deviate may be seen as unaccepting, intolerant, and unwilling to change.

The key is to acknowledge the strengths of both groups and to accept of both schools of thought. Additionally, one needs to be knowledgeable of where they come from and the opportunities available for themselves and others. What one person chooses as their “right” may not (and often will not) be the same “right” for someone else.

Look at something as trivial as toilet paper selection - hard or soft; giant roll or standard size; dispense with sheets rolling off top or pulling underneath; buy one pack of four rolls or stock quantity; store under sink, on back of toilet or in special holder? It’s TP; who cares! Many people. In fact, so many in results in heated debates, outright arguments, and in some instance could be the final straw to break the camel’s back. And that’s just with toilet paper. Now imagine all the “rights” within someone’s personal scope of bellydance. Not only are their more variances, it is also a much more personal act and choice. It is a way of life embraced with mind, body, and soul. It doesn’t take much, then, to wonder why so many are easily offended within this community.

So what do we do? We must remain vigilant in our tolerance and acceptance of others who choose a different style of bellydance or who choose to embrace the art form in an alternate fashion than our own. We also have to recognize what we do may not always be a good fit for others so we have to be open to others exploring and finding what’s a “right” choice for themselves.

For those of us who choose to teach, we have to share with students the various bellydance schools of thought, what we follow and why, and then allow them to experience and choose. If a student breaks off from our class and pursue their own journey, we need to both encourage and embrace them. We can offer guidance and recommendations (such as alternate teachers, continued workshops, and always stressing the importance of constantly increasing skills through additional training).

For those of us who are students, we have to be open to more than one style of bellydance and embrace the full spectrum of our local, national, and worldwide dance community. We need to be respectful of our dance ancestors as well as our current teachers. We should seek their guidance and wisdom with an open heart and a willingness to trust them to guide us. If we choose to branch out into the realm of teaching, we must recognize it is significantly different than being a student. We must also then be upfront and forthcoming with our students regarding our own school of thought, training, and experience. And if a student wants to train with someone else, we should be the first to offer them introduction and recommendation of other teachers.

This passion and life we call bellydance spans centuries of time, varied cultures, a plethora of countries, and an ever-increasing community of diverse women (and men). Let us respect, honor, acknowledge, accept, and love one another.

May we find connection in the movement and friendship in the dance!

Movement Intentions

2010-08-25T22:49:00.000-05:00

When I awoke this morning, little did I know it would be the beginning of a new leg of my movement journey. Over the past few days I have experienced distorted body image, decreased self-esteem, hopelessness in dreams, and failure in achievements. You could call it a low spot or a slip into depression. Instead I choose to embrace this time as an opportunity to enrich myself in mind, body, and soul.

I believe this opportunistic mindset has come about my current audio snack Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. This true story is an account of one woman’s journey of self-discovery, and it has inspired me to dig deep within myself to learn who I am, what I want from life, and to what lengths I’ll travel to achieve my greatest desires. On her quest, Elizabeth takes solace in the practice of yoga, meditation, and prayer. She also receives guidance from a guru.

What I most desire in my life is to help people discover, heal, and grow through movement. On a small scale I’m already experiencing this passion in my fusion bellydance classes. I now set the intention and send out to the universe my energy for this notion to take hold on a grand scale. To bring my dream into fruition, I call upon the dance gurus. Even further, I seek the movement goddesses of past, present, and future.

Too often I think the reason I’m not a more accomplished movement artist is due to the lack of big name instructors available in my local community or the unavailable funds to participate in area workshops and trainings. In truth, I have a host of movement educators always at my fingertips. For anyone who really knows me (or has seen my home dance studio), you know I have a bit of an obsession (perhaps even obsessive compulsion) when it comes to instructional DVDs. I own over at least 100 different videos from a variety of movement backgrounds including bellydance, bollywood, bhangra, ballet, hip hop, hoopdance, Brazilian, African, tap, Irish step dance, hula, ballroom, Latin, swing, sensual dance (aka striptease), Nia, trance dance, and Yoga Booty Ballet (to name a few). In contrast to the exhaustive resources, I can likely count on one hand the number I’ve actually watched or utilized.

It’s time to embrace the many blessings within my grasp including my ability to physically move my body, an eclectic movement library, and a sacred space designed for honoring dance. Today I experienced my first movement through movement in my first experience with Yoga Booty Ballet (a DVD I’ve owned for at least five years and only tonight put into the player for the first time). Upon finishing the basic practice I sat down and this full entry poured forth from me.
I end tonight’s blog with a goal, which I believe to be a desire spoken or written aloud with conscious intention and set in the present tense:

I look within me to find the movement goddess I seek and I call upon the gifts around me to call her forth. I hear her wisdom like gentle whispers into my soul and feel the favors she lays upon my heart. I embody joyful movement through conscious practice, focused dance meditation, and instruction outside my comfort zone.

In movement,
Nayana

Joyful greetings, all!

2009 has marked an exciting year in bellydance and my growth as a performance artist and movement healer:

I'm offering more classes than ever before through area facilities (YMCA, YWCA, Wausau Health and Fitness, Fitness on Demand).

I've performed at non-profit events including the first annual Wausau Preeclampsia Awareness Walk and the Steven's Point Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Walk. I was even honored with an opportunity to perform at the Wisconsin Valley Fair!

I've launched a new movement-based, personal website (http://www.thesoulstudio.net/) and Facebook fansite (http://www.fbook.me/theSOULstudio).

And, one of my favorite opportunities of this year has been to share my bellydance passion through FREE demonstrations at local events.

I'm excited to inform you of an upcoming FREE event where YOU can experience the joy of movement and embrace your femininity through bellydance. Don't miss The Skin Clinic and Spa's upcoming open house on Tuesday, October 13 from 5:30 pm to 8:00pm. Not only will you get to play with your hips and enjoy refreshing giggles with my demonstrations, you'll also have the opportunity to experience other local service providers and retailers.

Juvenile Diabetes Foundation Reseach Walk - October 3

2009-09-23T14:54:00.002-05:00

As you know, movement is a topic near and dear to my heart. Movement allows us to find ourselves, expression emotions, heal the past and even create the future. However, it is only ONE piece of the mind-body-soul connection. Health care and body wellness are another topic dear to me and I’m asking for your support in a very special cause.

This year, I'll be taking part in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's (JDRF) Walk to Cure Diabetes along with a half-million other walkers across the country. The walk takes place on Saturday, October 3 at Pfiffner Park in Stevens Point. I’ll be volunteering some time both walking and providing movement/bellydance entertainment to walkers and families.
Our goal: To raise $105 million to help fund research for a cure for type 1 diabetes and its complications. I’m personally hoping to raise $500 for this worthy cause and your donation of even $5 or $10 can make a bit difference.

More than 85 percent of JDRF’s expenditures directly support research and research-related education!

Please visit my Walk Web page if you would like to donate online or see how close I am to reaching my personal goal: http://walk.jdrf.org/walker.cfm?id=87504194

My heartfelt appreciation and a blessing of movement to you!

Celebrations

2009-05-08T15:17:00.005-05:00

It's a big day for the SOUL studio and I want to celebrate with all of you!

- I've booked two upcoming performances for local birthday parties both happening within the next two weeks. Both bookings came by word-of-mouth recommendations from previous events where I performed.

- I'm delighted to offer a bellydance demonstration at Home Based Unlimited Women's Expo on Saturday, May 16 at the Howard Johnson in Wausau. I'll be demonstrating around 9:30 am and perhaps again in the afternoon!

- the SOUL studio is donating a "shimmy sack" for Women in Action's "Power of the Purse" event. The "sack" will include an adorable bohemian themed bag, a coined hip scarf, a pass for a free six-week session with me, and perhaps a few other odds and ends.

- On of my dear friends and dancing soul mates is coordinating the first annual Wausau Preclampsia Walk on Saturday, June 6.

- And last, but certainly not least, I learned today I passed my NETA Group Fitness Instructor certification! Yep, I am official and will be inducted into Fitness on Demand to begin offering in-home and in-business bellydance training! In the near future you'll see my smiling mug included in the group shot.

These connections and opportunities would not be possible without the support of my loving husband, dancing sisters, and amazing friends. To know each of you I am truly blessed!

Wiggles & Giggles,
Nayana

PS One more meeting tonight and my logo should be complete!

Photo Slideshow

2009-05-06T17:36:00.004-05:00

the SOUL studio has joined Flickr! See my new photo slideshow. This will likely become the new photo album on theSOULstudio.net as the site gets up and running.

If you are technologically cool and know how to embed this feature in a blog, please message me. I'd really like to learn!

Wiggles & Giggles,
Nayana

Logo Update

2009-05-05T19:58:00.003-05:00

the SOUL studio is your movement experience. It's an opportunity to explore your feminity, embrace your beauty, enhance your courage, and create your strength.

In keeping with this theme of encouraging your soul, my new logo will be an image of my eye with a silhouette of me dancing in my eye. Since I'm a dancer in my soul and the eyes are the window to the soul, it's just perfect! I'm so excited for this new logo and that it includes pieces (quite literally) of me. It's orginal, unique, and just plain raqs!

We have the shot of my eye, and it's currently going through some "creative" design such as being washed out or water colored. Last night we took some additional silhouette shots and should finally have at least one that should work.

Now it's all up to my fantastic designer friend to make the two mesh. Then, I'll add the text, the tag line, and the web address.

It's so close I can almost hip bump it!

Wiggles & Giggles,
Nayana

PS I have a meeting tomorrow about thesoulstudio.net and getting things rolling!
