My favorite flexibility teacher - the incredible @staceynemour - has generously donated a 15-minute stretching routine for ALL LEVELS (suited for absolute beginners) to our @Dance4Children charity @gumroad channel.

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! ✨

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)

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!”

What is your favorite shimmy?

Choochoo is definitely one of my top favs, at least once I learned how to economize the movement 😅

A few quick layering tips for choochoo shimmies from yesterday’s bonus video of our June #SHIMMYBOOST online series 🌸

1. Slow the movements down
2. Find your optimal layering range
3. Optimize the footwork and posture (this we work on in our SHIMMYBOOST series!) For the full bonus video go to www.facebook.com/groups/kdanceonline (or drop me a 🤘🏻 in the comments for the link)

For the full SHIMMYBOOST series (strength-flexibility-dance tips for 3 types of shimmies) comment a 👌🏻 Have a great weekend!

I can fully understand why clouds have inspired countless poets and painters, seers and scientists (and often those are mixed arts, too 😁) over time.

Shimmy shimmy! Our technique theme of the month for June ❤️ What is your biggest shimmy challenge?

For me at first my it was the Egyptian style straight-legged shimmy.

It took me much practice and input from different teachers before it finally ‘clicked’ - and that was before adding layering 😅

I learned a lot along the way.

After that, I wanted to tackle the belly flutter - which turned out to be even more of an adventure 🙈

And I think with this I’m not alone!
Shimmies became a bit of an obsession, I wanted to learn all kinds, 3/4 shimmies, choochoos, shivers, the lot.

Even now I still keep experimenting with different ways of practice, exercises, stretches and body-mind connection tweaks to make them easier to learn for myself and for my fellow dancers/teachers/students.

If you’d like to dive in deep with me, check out my Shimmy BOOST strength-flexibility-dance online class recordings at www.gum.co/khalidazoomjune
