Ep 189. You Never Know Who You Inspire - Student Voices w/ Tita
This is a special weekend series ‘Student Voices’ where I share my conversations with the members of the Iana Dance Club about life, dance and training. Some of participants are belly dance beginners, some are professionals, but all of us have one thing in common: we all remain being students of dance. :)
Enjoy this inspiring conversation with Tita where she shares her belly dance transformations with us:
Before:
My body was stuck doing nothing my whole life. I had to learn to move every muscle, especially my hips.
It’s difficult to follow the choreo with ‘rights’ and ‘lefts’.
Finding my flow was very difficult. I’m good with capturing all accents in my mind, but my body isn’t, lol.
Now:
Belly dance helped me to exercise consistently.
It also inspired me to take care and move my body even more diving into other disciplines.
My self-confidence improved. I found that I am beautiful.
‘These days I found a new way of enjoying dance. I’m not dancing for someone, but I’m dancing for myself.’
"Two girls started dancing because they saw my very first performance. That was so inspiring. Since then I think: Ok, I’m not perfect, but I CAN do it!"_ Tita
