MUDRAS

A mudra is a bodily posture or symbolic gesture that focuses and directs energy. The use of the mudras is quite common in Classical Indian dances. Mudras have the power to improve our health and vitality- physically, mentally , emotionally and spiritually. In my classes Mudras are used in conjunction with Cardio moves, core exercises, stretches and meditation and are thoroughly enjoyed by participants from all walks of life. But don't take my word for it, try them for yourself and notice how they make you fee.

Male Bellydancers

Many People are totally unaware of Male Bellydancers.

 
Men in the Middle East dance as much as women do. Bellydance isn’t limited to women nor was it ever a “women only” dance. As a society of artists and musicians we have to truly understand where this dance originated and what happened to it that shadowed the male dancer to begin with. Perhaps our own societal biases .  “The name alone is misleading but we’ve come to live with it and try to help turn it back into what it was…ethnic dance…not natives dancing with the part of their body containing their entrails…because in truth the term bellydance/Danse du ventre means just that. Colonials/Colonists were not embracing this the way we have as artists…and the idea of it being presented by a long haired, dainty woman, meek and mild has never sat well within the culture from which it came.”

You do not have to be a woman to sing and dance well. The idea or notion that only women can dance and sing could give way to many uncomfortable stereotypes .
Hollywood glorified bellydance in a very interesting way. We ourselves do not currently posses any videos or artifacts showing males being in this glorification…just women. Therefore the tough Debke & line dancers with their intricate steps adorning gorgeous cloaks, bolero jackets, turbans and capes are virtually unseen. It’s unfortunate because the male dancer captures audiences just as strongly as a female bellydancer. Most modern shows won’t go without one.
