Interview with Iana for the “Belly Dance Life Podcast”<\/h2>\n

I was thrilled to be invited to participate on the longest-running belly dance podcast, “Iana’s Belly Dance Life.”\u00a0 I’ve been subscribed for many years, and it was so exciting to get an invitation to participate in her programming.<\/p>\n

The Podcast<\/h4>\n

Back in May, Iana reached out to me and invited me to come and chat about my career in dance and costuming. During the conversation, I laid it all out there chronologically. I was happy to share insights I’ve learned along the way.<\/p>\n

Preparing for Podcast Interviews<\/h4>\n

Before the scheduled meeting time, I went over to Iana’s podcast page and listened to a dozen or so podcasts. I listened to one or two a day while walking and doing house chores for about a week.<\/p>\n

Pre-listening to a podcaster, helped me to learn Iana’s cadence and timing so that we could have a great flow.\u00a0 While most podcasts are edited, I always try to be provide clean smooth content.<\/p>\n

I particularly enjoyed listening to colleagues in the field of dance history and research:<\/p>\n
