Insecurity Stinks
We dancers are often terrified we might feel or express the wrong thing. We're so desperate to please everyone, we don't even know what we feel!
We worry that we can't feel anything. That will be wrong. That we will get in trouble. That we will be boring...
So… what can we do?
How do we come into ourselves? Find ourselves? Recover our bodies and souls?
Honestly, it’s a process. It takes time to even begin to notice what happens in the body as you notice. It takes time and intention to let those panic impulses resolve.
Improvisation Works
Improv melts our masks and bonds. Our faces and bodies are free to reflect what we feel.
In improv there are no wrong moves. What we feel is what we feel.
By closing our eyes and letting the body move as it wishes, letting the face express what if feels, all in the privacy of our own space, we recover our own body’s way of being in the moment, of expressing the music, of expressing what we feel.
We can give our face, our brain, our nervous system a well-deserved rest while we revel in our own genuine expression.
Gaining these skills is also a process. To help with that, we have compiled our Black Friday special.

Hi, I’m Alia Thabit
I teach belly dance with a somatic, interoceptive focus on improvisation, feeling, and joy. I began integrating Somatic Experiencing® (SE) with my dance teaching several years ago, helping dancers move through fear and freeze around improvisation, performance, and more. I am also a writer, a lifelong visual artist, and creative expression consultant with decades of experience. All of this has coalesced into a broad-spectrum creative, self-actualization focus to help human beings bring joy to their world.
