Council. Hone your technique and befriend your coach.

I have liked oriental dances for over ten years. Once I started practicing – it began to work out, and now I get real pleasure from dancing. Like many girls, I was inspired by The Clone. After him, I realized that in my past life I probably lived in Ancient Egypt – this is so close to me.

About costumes. I have more than ten of them, and every season I have to thoroughly update my wardrobe. You put old suits on the shelf, and design new ones yourself. I confess that after one dance, the costume is already stuck. I am wearing a pink outfit, because I want the brightness, the warmth of the sun and give warmth to the people who are looking at me.

Council. See more different videos, choreography of a variety of dancers that you like and don’t like. Work not only on technique, but also on soul and acting.

Council. Beginner dancers often get frustrated and quit. Therefore, if it does not work out the first time, you need to move on. Here you need fruitful work on yourself.

I love the beauty of this dance, because it is very diverse. There are sad, funny and sensitive oriental dances. In the direction “oriental” you can show absolutely all your emotions. And most importantly, you can start dancing oriental dances at any age – both for retirees and those who have just turned two years old.

About costumes. I don’t have many outfits for an oriental dancer. Only 5-6. Different seamstresses sew them for me, because it is difficult to find a good seamstress.
