Majilyn discusses the importance of creating connection and emotion in dance with host Jennifer.

On This Episode of Let’s Talk: Bellydance, Majilyn and I discuss the struggles and triumphs of connection in the dance with your audience and yourself. Ever seen a dancer with amazing technique, but you didn’t feel much? Have you ever been moved that you teared up or couldn’t stop grinning when watching another dancer…as if they transported you to another time or place? Join us as we go over this and much more in the realm of theatrics, dance, and practical advice for every level of dancer.
