Tribal Belly Dance


Epic music for theatrical pieces. Samsara by Roya
I know most of the music I let my readers know about is free, but this music is so epic that I had to blog about it and let you know that it is worth the money.
It is perfect for a really theatrical drama filled dance piece. I had a conversation with a friend with the music playing in the background and it made everything we said seem epic and profound.

Biodegradable glitter? It's really a thing!
I had honestly never given glitter much thought in terms of its impact on the environment. I had wondered about its safety and potential toxicity given it can stick to the skin or scalp for such long periods of time and be hard to remove; but beyond that simple pondering, glitter has simply been glitter.

How to flip videos to make learning dance choreography easier.

Some of the clips are in front of mirrors and shot from behind which makes it easier, but some are not. Flipping the video footage of dances shot face on makes it much easier to get left from right as you can just mirror the dancers in the clip. It is not only big shows that flipping a movie clip is useful, if you are collaborating with anyone online

How to make a simple steampunk gun for an awesome dance!
..instructions on a super easy steampunk for a cap gun to make something suitable for a dance performance.

Hi all! I recently moved my old site to WIX and unfortunately the transfer did not go as advertised. Some parts have been deleted, other bits added from goodness knows where. I am working through my blog posts slowly to update them. There is still good info there but it is a bit muddled, I appreciate your patience while I work on them.
