Improvisation Toolkit on DVD

Coming October 25th: Volume 1 of the Improvisation toolkit on DVD

Many dancers are frustrated by improv, and it's no wonder. Most teachers throw them in the improv deep end by telling them to "just do it" in class.

the Improvisation Toolkit will start you off in the shallow end. Practical, step-by-step instructions will help you build the fundamental (but often overlooked) skills you need improvise with confidence. You'll be able to gradually let go of the pool wall and move into deeper and deeper water.

Taktaba Video Podcast

Nadira is the hostess of Taktaba, the free video podcast on dance composition for belly dancers. Taktaba presents an analytical approach to dance composition by exploring different elements of space, shape, time, and energy. Whether you choreograph your dance or improvise your compositions, the way you use these elements defines your dance and makes your style unique. Please join me as I seek to improve my own dance by exploring these elements.
