When the muse calls.. we must answer 🥰 I get n When the muse calls.. we must answer 🥰 I get nervous for photoshoots, even for dance related ones, so one thing that helps me is to try do prepare as much as I can beforehand (I practice! in the living room, in my costumes 😁) I consider my hairdo, makeup, accessories, I iron my props, I check the movements of the outfit, I test for lines that I like, I try to envision the athmosphere I would like to embody, and I pre-pack what I can on the evening before It really helps me to ‘settle in’ and let go a bit more on the actual shoot day when I feel I have really done all I could. Another thing I noticed, in part related related, is that when I see them afterwards, I usually prefer the pictures that were taken a bit later in the shoot, as it takes me a while to relax and ‘warm up’, especially in my face/expression and arms. If you’re like me, it makes sense to consider saving your favorite outfit (if you have 2 or more) for the middle/later part of the shoot. Or you might even bring a ‘decoy outfit’ to start! Do you have a photoshoot coming up? Or a performance where there will be pictures? Would you like to get even more tips and tricks on how to get the best possible results from your next photosession and/or performance? Then join my upcoming Online Workshop ‘posing for pictures’ this Saturday! Sign up at www.gum.co/pictureposing (link in bio) ❤️ Enjoy, and feel free to share this post with anyone you think might enjoy the pictures/tips and workshop!

We are over the moon 🥰 Go check it out at www.gum.co/flexibility (link in @dance4children bio) 💛 It’s a wonderful, super gentle yet surprisingly effective mini routine. I use it almost daily as part of a longer stretch (I have the full course this video is part of) - Your body will love it! All proceeds of the courses on our D4C channel will go directly and in full to a good cause. Previous videos have been donated to us in the past by generous online teachers: 🌟 @elise_samba_costumes 🌟 @jallabinaworkout @lenahelt @jallabina.amina 🌟 @vagabondprincess23 🌟 @queeniedance 🌟 @marcovlieger and @artandkaizen 🌟 @khalidabech - you can find them all at www.gumroad.com/D4C 🙏🏻 This year (like the previous one!) we support the girls of @cameleonphilippines 💚 PS: If you are an online teacher and would like to donate a video - let me know via DM and we will be in touch! ✨ #flexibility #stretching #stretch #routine #rangeofmotion #health #hipopening #legs #legstretching #ankles #freedom #painfree #recovery #splits #rom #rnr #rangeofmovement #movement #healthymovement #staceynemour #crosstraining #flexibilityexpert #ballet #bellydance #contemporary #gymnastics #taekwondo #martialarts #dance4children #thankyoustacey
When dance gives you wings ✨ How do we know wha When dance gives you wings ✨ How do we know what we are? This is something I briefly talked about at the end one of my recent (online) classes. The past few years I’ve noticed my focus has been shifting. In the ‘learning department’ I’ve been spending more time studying various dance and movement arts (#ballet, contemporary, #taekwondo, haidong gumdo/korean #sword art) as well as diving into #strength, bodywork, mindfulness, embodiment, biomechanics and #flexibility more than actually practicing #oriental dance. And in the creative department I’ve been spending more time reading, writing/blogging, photographing, and taking in the sights/sounds of nature (@joyofmovementblog) as well as simply walking, but not really making dances, or teaching for that matter. So I wondered. Am I still a dancer? A dance teacher? Do I even have anything left to share that is of value? These thoughts pop up every now and then. And yet. Whenever I do.. when I somehow still perform, or teach, even online, I am surprised. The love for dance and for teaching is not gone. It’s just different. I noticed that - even though I’ve spent a lot of time and energy on things that might feel like ‘distractions’ - it hasn’t made my dancing ‘less’ - but different. When I do get to perform now, I enjoy it more. My movements are differrent. I feel more free, more connected. And when I do teach (even online!) I notice it goes deeper. It does more. And I keep learning more, too. The past few months have taught me how much we can still expand our skills, especially as adults, and how very much I love to share what I have learned. Every time we practice something unfamiliar, we learn to learn. Every time we create something, it teaches us how to create. My point being. A dance (like this one, last year) can be made in minutes - if you’ve practiced your creativity. A technique can be transformed in moments - if your practice goes deeper. These are the things I love to teach. If you’d like to join me on this journey - if you want to discover what you can still learn: Sign up for my classes at www.gum.co/khalidaclasses2020 (link in bio) #khalida #dance #online #godeep
Want to study with me online? Really deeply? From Want to study with me online? Really deeply? From wherever you are? For the rest of 2020? Let’s geek out on movement and dance together for the next 5 months and change the way you think of learning forever - discover for yourself how truly transformative gentle strength, alignment and flexibility tweaks can be for every single dance movement you know. The same counts for the moments in between those movements, too! We will focus on a single theme per month, practicing strength, flexibility and dance during 3 short lunchtime sessions per week. You can sign up for just the class recordings, the live sessions, or a combination of both! You will receive an email at the start of each month with all the class dates, the items you’ll need, and a free printable worksheet to track your progress. I will be there with you every step of the way. In the coming months we will dive into on Posture & Arms, Travel Steps, Veil, Fanveils and Belly Work. Use the link in my bio (or send me a 💚 for the link!) to sign up for the full season and conveniently pay automatically once per month. You can cancel at any time if you wish. Let’s Dance and Grow together! 💚 www.gum.co/khalidaclasses2020 Here’s what previous participants have shared: “When I booked the first month I didn’t plan on doing all three sessions per week – I’m already super flexible and do my own strength training. But when I joined those cross training sessions I soon realized how great this combination really works: on Mondays and Tuesdays you prepare yourself by working on strength and mobility, but mostly on connecting with your body. This new awareness then helps you make great leaps of improvement during the Friday dance sessions. This program of bodywork and dance let me see unexpectedly huge effects – on a belly dance-teacher and dance-student with 22 years of classes! So if you love Khalida’s graceful elegance and are ready for some deep but fun bodywork-classes: join us!” Sandra L.
