Yallah Raqs Podcast – New Episodes for 2021!

 

The Yallah Raqs Podcast is BACK!

One of the best and most useful freebies offered by Tiffany Noro and her team over at The Bellydance Bundle is the Yalla Raqs Podcast.  Each year, Tiffany interviews her participants on the topic of their Bundle offering.  As I post this there are 72 episodes to listen to from past years and this new season!  

Yallah Raqs: Informative and Entertaining

What I love best about the podcast is the way Tiffany connects with these dancers and creates a warm and supportive atmosphere to have deep juicy conversations. I like to listen to them while I’m taking my daily walks.  There is something special about listening to talented dancers talking about their passion and point of view that is so inspiring to me. 

Yallah Raqs 67: Aziza on Veilwork

During the 2010’s I had the amazing opportunity to take workshops with Aziza when she visited the Bay Area.  I’ll never forget her 20min shimmy drill!  But when I think of Aziza, I think of her amazing command of the veil. 

In this podcast, she shares her origin story with the veil.  Aziza also talks about her transition from being a touring star to a weekly dance instructor and how she has shared the art of the veil with people throughout the world.

Yallah Raqs 65: Rosa Noreen on Turning

If you’ve been following me for any period of time, you probably already know of my deep admiration for the style, grace, and flow of the incomparable Rosa Noreen.

In this episode of the Yallah Raqs podcast, Rosa Noreen discusses some of the key muscle groups that are used in turns, body alignment, and control of turns.  She pulls knowledge from her ballet training to apply to improve belly dance techniques.  I’m really looking forward to taking her class in this year’s Bellydance Bundle.

But there is so much more amazing content, discussions, and insights with top teachers from around the world.  If you haven’t checked out the Yallah Raqs podcast, I highly recommend giving it a listen.  Start from one of the links above, or go directly to the Yallah Raqs podcast main page and pick the topics and instructors that appeal to you most.  

Be sure to join the Yallah Raqs Podcast email list for future episodes.  I’m looking forward to a future interview with Tiffany on my talk for the Bellydance Bundle 2021 entitled “Danse du Ventre:1889.”   If you’re subscribed to her newsletter you’ll get informed when my podcast episode goes live. 

Bundle Season is so much fun!  Now I’m off to listen to more podcasts,
