Hello Dancers,

We are so excited for the next Raqs Online challenge!

You can join the class this Saturday at 11am MDT

It's never too late to be a Digital Diva. In a world that is fueled by visual imagery, knowing a little something about this industry can help you in more areas of life than just dance.

Join Sadie for a fun lecture based webinar that will offer many tips and tools for creating beautiful digital media out of your dance craft, for both photos and video. After the workshop we would like to encourage you to practice by creating a video you can submit to be featured on one of our "Friday Feature" posts at Raqs Online.

This class will be great for you if:

  • You feel awkward, nervous or anxious in front of cameras

  • Want to try making photos and/or videos but don't know what to do

  • Feel dissatisfied with most photos and videos you take

  • Want some tips to enhance your creativity and impact

  • Want some industry tips and secrets to looking better on camera

  • Sadie's personal trade secrets

  • Advice on lighting, atmosphere, filters, etc

  • Need a personal pep talk to get you out of your shell!

Hi Jasmin, Great and thoughtful question. In my opinion yes. I have seen this done even by Egyptian dancers. Dancers will often perform a folkloric piece in the middle of a cabaret set and since they don't have time for a costume change they will do it in the cabaret costume. I hope that helps. It is more a matter of opinion. Some may not agree but as I mentioned I have seen this often. Even with source dancers.

Yes, this one takes some practice! Put in the tilt to the diagonal of the direction of your circle. That might help. Also every 8 counts change from shimmy to circle to keep the tempo

Hi Elena, I am so sorry that I also cannot seem to find this class. I guess I will have to film a class just about that move. Stay tuned!
