As we move to the internal during quarantine, and examine way we are spending our time and energies now and in the weeks and months ahead, I want to share this dancer blog post with excellent advice. Here are just a sampling of the gems:
7. Strive to constantly make new discoveries about dancing (rather than waiting to be spoon fed the answers). This is a crucial part of developing your unique perspective and voice. Don’t be a dance robot. 8. Seek out instructors/mentors they mesh with and who push them. 9. Practice the shit out of everything. Does this one need explaining? Of course you’ll need to do high-quality practice, not mindless practice. 10. Disregard their inner critics’ harsh thoughts. Your inner critic is just a little child trying to distract you from doing worthwhile things. Hit the ignore button. Read the whole article here: http://rebeccabrightly.com/good-dancers-differently/

My feed seems full of friends playing with make-up right now during quarantine. What a fun way to break up the monotony of COVID-19 quarantine, to add a splash of color and sass to your day!
To get you in the spirit, here's a link to a blog post I made way back in the day, and the tutorials within are still some of my faves for basics in everyday makeup skills for those getting started. And of course, I still think my basic tutorial on tribal bellydance makeup is a solid guide, but I'll let you be the judge. Check it out, and have fun playing! http://www.deeprootsdance.com/2014/07/getting-started-with-makeup.html |
