Geek Out with Zahra Zuhair: Finding Your Creative Genius

My guest, Zahra Zuhair, talks about how cultivating a more positive outlook can improve your dance. As dancers, we are often fortunate to have supportive communities of other dancers around us, many of whom become cherished friends. However, between social media, competition for performance spots, and varied motivations for pursuing the dance, we sometimes compare ourselves to other dancers, making us frustrated with our progress and actually discouraging us from the very habits that improve our dancing. Learning how to free yourself of those negative judgments and mindset can help you unleash the artist within. You'll Learn:  The pros and cons of social media The dangers of comparing yourself to others The uselessness of self judgment Awakening your inner dancer The power of creating small habits  For more geek-tacular resources, visit:  http://www.BellyDanceGeek.com Also check out our sister program, "More Than Steps" where I geek out on how belly dance works, one coffee run at a time: https://anchor.fm/more-than-steps
