One handed Silk veil work. Risky. Tricky. Fun. 🥰 We’ll get familiar with ‘veil recovery’ techniques in our final week of the Silk Veil BOOST Program! This series has been so much fun. Inspiring, energizing, full of love. A huge thank you to all participants who have joined me online so far. I’m already looking forward to next year’s edition! ❤️ Video from Ana’s night out by @anadanst Costume by @polinadcd Music: Peace and Power by Joanne Shenandoah ✨ #khalidaonline #movement #dance #bellydance #bellydancer #veildance #silkveil #awareness #rangeofmotion #flexibility #strength #combos #orientaldance #dancer #crosstraining #danceskills #online #learning #practice #buikdans #danse #danseorientale #orientaalsedans #danzadelvientre #khalidabech #onlineclasses #zoom #onlineprogram PS: get on the waiting list for Oct/Nov (Fan veil / Belly Work BOOST) at www.subscribepage.com/boost2020 (link in bio!) 🌹
Shine your light ✨ I’ve finally relented 😁 Shine your light ✨ I’ve finally relented 😁 and bought a ring light. For the curious ones: this is a Neewer 18 inch/48 dimmable led ring. The kit I got also included a long tripod, a set of warm and cool colour filters (I used the cool one for the pictures) and a multi-directional smart phone holder. They even threw in a little bluetooth remote! The light was quite easy to assemble (thankfully) - but I still youtubed it just in case 🤓 I’m pretty happy 👌🏻 It takes up much less space than the setup I had cobbled together (more zen!) The light is seamlessly dimmable (a good thing, the max setting is a bit blinding from nearby 😎) It’s strong enough, at least for my current (living room setup) online class recordings and virtual workshops. I might still re-install a second light for class videos though (ie my older - square - neemer light) because I kind of miss the light that was coming from the side. So I’ll be experimenting a bit more next week 😅 Soo.. how about you? What’s the ‘gear’ you use for lighting? Are you happy with what you’ve got? #khalidaonline #onlineclasses #light #ledlight #videoclass #ringlight #tech #dance #setup #buikdans #orientaalsedans #danseorientale #danzadelvientre #danceonline #onlinedanceclass #khalidabech #bellydance #strength #flexibility #crosstraining #neewer #ledlights
Flip your veil grip! 👌🏻💕✨ Today’s #T Flip your veil grip! 👌🏻💕✨ Today’s #TipDrop video is all about the finer details of hand(ha)ling silk for dance. In the full video I demonstrate my 2 favorite veil grip methods (you see the one I use most often in this short preview clip) plus a bonus ‘grip flip’ tip to save you with grace in case your veil gets tangled. My main tip for this particular veil grip is: use your wrist positioning to help relax and extend the fingers naturally. For the full video see www.gum.co/tipdrops/innercircle (link in bio!🔥) TipDrops members get a fresh 3-13 minute tips video via email - like this one, but with different topics - from me every Friday!

In today’s online BOOST session we explored a fe In today’s online BOOST session we explored a few different ways to ‘fluidify’ upper body, arm and wrist movements by enhancing our body awareness. A few ways to do this: 💛 hold a belt or strap for resistance (I’m holding a @staceynemour strap in the video, see below!) and move your arms in different planes/directions 💛 change your relationship to gravity by adding wrist weights and/or using the floor while moving your arms 💛 use strengthening veil moves (‘veilos’ - see the second video) for a few seconds by replacing your veil with a heavy towel/a blanket, and then retry the moves with silk. Note: This last exercise is now called ‘whale dance’ officially 🐳😅 as inspired by miss @tingelingunn of Norway 🤓🙏🏻🦄💕✨ . That’s it, simple but effective (at least for me 🤓) Let me know how these tips work for you!

Another round (har 🤓) of Silk Veil tips 🌹 Th Another round (har 🤓) of Silk Veil tips 🌹 This time for turns and spins! 🌪 Hydrate! Be sure to drink enough water before/during spinning practice. It will help your vestibular system (inner ear balance), as it uses fluids to calibrate 👂🏻 🌪 Start with doing simple turns/spins and build up the challenge gradually (adding arm motions/upper body tilts/twists and/or head motions to the mix) 🥰 🌪 Breathe calmly and focus on feeling your feet on the floor and lengthening your posture at the same time 😇 🌪 Ginger (candy, tea, raw) can help agains motion sickness 🤓 Bonus tip! 🌪 When you do a series of un-spotted turns (thank you @annah_raqs for the term!) dizzyness may peak when you stop, not during the spin. Give yourself an easier transition out of the spin by doing a few ‘spotted’ turns at the end to re-orient yourself before doing other movements.

The falling of the leaves 🍃🌹🍂 . One of my The falling of the leaves 🍃🌹🍂 . One of my favorite photos ever by the amazing @artelster This picture was made during our very first photoshoot together, in Aachener Stadtpark, about 4 years ago. We used a red silk veil for the movement at the top, plus 4 more red silk fanveils for the ‘drape’ across the stairs. I love the result, it makes the skirt (costume by @becker_natalya) look liquid and as if the fabric is flowing over the stairs🌹 I adore using silk props for photoshoots as well as performances. To me, it feels like painting in 3D. As a kid I took art classes for a while, and one of the assignments was to listen to different pieces of music, and then ‘draw out’ what we heard. I loved it, and it resonated with me deeply, as I was often either listening to music or reading books, and I would imagine stories and images to go with both. This exercise gave me a new, concrete way of visualising music, and I realized much later that creating dances (especially with props!) felt very similar to this. Next to that, I loved watching (and trying to imitate!) video clips from TV, and the connection between sound and vision still fascinates me. Making dances. Moving images. Visual sound. This has stayed with me ever since that drawing class. And you? Do you like to create images when you move? #dancing #movement #sound #vision #photography #outdoorshoot #silkveil #fanveils #dancer #creativity #bellydance #bellydancer #props #artclass #painting #drawing #musicality #makingdances #choreography #dance #outside #nature #green #red #foliage #collaboration #photoshoot #buikdans #orientaalsedans #bellydance #khalidaonline PS: If you’d like to learn some of my ‘silk drawings’, check the link all the way below my latest blog post and join my upcoming ‘veil technique & combos’ online workshop 🥰 🌹 —> link in @joyofmovementblog bio! 🌹
More silk veil dance tips for you! ❤️ 🌹 Fo More silk veil dance tips for you! ❤️ 🌹 For extra fluid moves, make sure your head is dancing, too! The body follows the eyes. It really makes a difference. 🌹Focus on feeling the weight/lightness of the veil, think ‘sensitive hands and fingertips’, and your arms will start to flow more naturally 🌹Not sure what your body is doing as you’re ‘veiling’? Try a strap/belt/towel as a veil substitute so you can see/film/tweak your movements (we tried this in our latest Silk Veil BOOST session 🤓) then try again. It’s a great posture opener, too! 🌹 If your range of motion gets in your way, dedicate a few moments to opening up space in your joints right before dancing. (DM me or put a ✨ in the comments if you want tips on that, I can send you a few links that might be of help!) PS: as @kim_maria_dance1 noted 🥰 these tips will work for non-veil movements too! Enjoy, and feel free to share! 🌹 Have a great Sunday! #khalidaonline #movement #dance #online #learning #health #selfcare #crosstraining #bellydancer #awareness #rangeofmotion #flexibility #strength #painfree #orientaldance #dancer #danceskills #practice #danseorientale #orientaalsedans #danzadelvientre #onlineteacher #keeponmoving #movementknowledge #dancewithkhalida #props #veil #fallwinterBOOST #SilkVeilBOOST www.khalidadance.com/online
‘Space to breathe it - time to savor’ Less is ‘Space to breathe it - time to savor’ Less is more (thankfully!) especially when dancing with a silk veil 🥰 Here are a few quick tips for silky smooth veil work: 🌹Work consciously on your transitions, the ‘moves between the moves‘ - it’s where all the magic is at. 🌹 Notice whether your breath is flowing as you’re moving - if it isn‘t.. relax, pause for a moment, take a breath, and do it again :) 🌹 Every now and then, practice in super slow motion, it will help you feel your moves in depth and connect the biomechanical dots 🌹 To level up your veil dance big time, simplify your movements first, go all out on your body lines and posture/expression instead, then gradually re-add veil complexity. Enjoy, and feel free to share!
