Learning to Improvise Without Thought
I've begun work on a new project that aims to coach dancers who are struggling with improvistation.
I got so much satisfaction out of creating the zil technique cd that I'm feeling ready to tackle the larger challenge of making a cd rom on Ecstatic Dance. It's geared towards belly dancers that really want joyous improvisation without thought, perfect expression, and the great buzz you can only get from riding the music.
I'd like to hear from dancers that have questions they want answered on the subject, or opinions on what they'd like to see addressed. I really enjoy helping dancers get past obsticles in their path. Every dancer that I coach teaches me more about teaching! Working with more dancers will help me cover all the bases on the new cd. You can e-mail me at
Also, I am hoping to accomplish alot on this project at Pennsic this year, as this is the most fertile ground I've ever danced on! If you are a dancer attending Pennsic this year and would like some help with your improvisation skills, please feel free to find me there. I am also hoping to talk to dancers who feel like they have any helpfull techniques to share with these women.
