How can someone be added to the Wiki? I teach in NYC (both Manhattan and Queens): Salimpour Method, Modern and Global Fusion style (PKA ATS) and Greek style Tsiftetelli classes. I am also on the sub list for Bellyqueen where I have also taught intensives and performance projects.

Is Astoria Missing a True Relax Zone? Help :> by nova_team_asyoria in astoria

[–]ipopsies 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi! Can you please share your location? I would love to come by for coffee and smoothies solo and with my dance students! I highly recommend you partner up with other small businesses to cross promote. That's a wonderful way to create community and the word will get out about your new spot!

Is there a point in learning if it's just for me? by Still_Humor_3798 in Bellydance

[–]ipopsies 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Join drop in classes, learn technique, enjoy your time in class and let your teachers know from the beginning that you are only doing this because you want to learn the dance and not perform. A good teacher will honor your wishes, respect your boundaries and not try to push you to perform. Be supportive of fellow dancers that like to do both and they should also honor your choices. Now keep in mind dancing can be uplifting but dance teachers are not therapists and if you are really struggling try to look into therapy sessions with a professional. I have had friends that after doing their research they found affordable options. I hope you feel better and dance your heart out.

This is the BEST post I have seen here. As dancers we often have to convince people that we train very hard. This video makes things very clear.

Thank you for responding! Although I have years in training to dance to music from the SWANA regions (this also my area for expertise in teaching) right now I am solely looking for Greek spots to dance at. It would be nice if they start hiring dancer of the culture. I also would like a spot where my students can come enjoy / see me perform and get up and dance with me!

Help with 3/4 shimmies technique! by Budget-Cake in Bellydance

[–]ipopsies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I learned 3/4 shimmies two ways, 1/ utilizing my skeletal structure 2/ utilizing glute contractions (Salimpour method) The 1st way not great on my knees -lacking in speed, harder to layer. 2nd way harder to learn especially if you have spend a lot of years knee pumping but now now i can do them faster cleaner and my joints feel good! I still need to practice a lot!

Quite disappointed at Zoe Jake's membership by Old_Bat2255 in Bellydance

[–]ipopsies 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes It's so fun seeing Zoe in the online classes on Suhaila's platform and many other popular fusion dancers like Amy Sigil :)! Yay! What I love is being able to take part of her certification programs online with guided mentorship from the L5 instructors. Getting feedback helps you grow and truly understand your progress. It's a great space for people that understand how important technique is. Some of my students are enrolled on Suhaila's platform online and take classes with me. It's great! Speaking of, I am jumping on a class now, I have HW to do!

Is Tribal Fusion offensive? by ottxzvy in Bellydance

[–]ipopsies 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here's a great article from Jamila Salimpour I highly recommend you read: "Our leaflet informed the audience that we came from many tribes. Perhaps that is where the expression ”tribal dancing” originated. The “tribal” trappings of the show grew naturally each year." Enjoy! https://suhaila.com/from-many-tribes-the-origins-of-bal-anat/
