Books Recommendations For Dancers
How much do you know about the history of belly dance? Do you have a real understanding of Egyptian mythology, or the word “Isis” is only associated with wings in your mind? What do you know about the influence of the Ottoman empire in Egypt, Europe and the Balkans?
As belly dancers, we should not only know how to do shimmies, but also understand the culture and history of the dance. We also would benefit from studying the basics of marketing, nutrition, mindset coaching, and leave some time for simply fun reads.
Create a new habit of reading dance-related books on a regular basis.
It can be 20-30 minutes daily during your morning coffee, or maybe a couple hours on the weekends. Whatever schedule works for you, but include this activity as a regular part of your life.
