This is a special weekend series \\u2018Student Voices\\u2019 where I share my conversations with the members of the Iana Dance Club about life, dance and training. Some of participants are belly dance beginners, some are professionals, but all of us have one thing in common: we all remain being students of dance. :)

Enjoy this inspiring conversation with Shani Brown where she shares her belly dance transformations with us:


Belly Dance Transformations:

"A lot of the time it\\u2019s difficult to prioritize for ourselves, and to prioritize our dance because there are so many things that we have to do\\u2026 But if we have assignments and goals to reach for the week/month, that really helps to prioritize our training."

"I think it\\u2019s so nice to record yourself right from the beginning of your dance journey, so that 1 month/ 2 months or even a year later you can look back and realize: \\u201cOmg, I have improved!\\u201d. Video recording is a wonderful tool."

"I think I\\u2019m mature enough to know that progress isn\\u2019t instant, but I know it will come. There is always room for growth, so we just keep going."

"Belly dance brings me that need to continue to challenge myself, to learn, to grow. Something I can\\u2019t find anywhere else."_Shani
