Have fun with dance.
1. Here goes the new exercse phosophy: If ts fun, t can be good for you. But
the attracton of dance goes we beyond ftness. Theres the socazaton ---
you need not go t aone --- and the satsfacton of earnng somethng new.
Utmatey, t doesnt reay matter whch type of dance you pck ----- Afrcan,
tap, sasa, swng, and baroom, or other knds of dance ---- as ong as you ke
t and as ong as you keep movng.
2. n Afrcan dance, whch s accompaned by drums rather than meody, short
bursts of energy aternate wth ong perods of movement. Dfferent parts of
the body move at dfferent tempos, so musces everywhere are strengthened.
3. Lke other types of dance, tap can be aerobc f ts done contnuousy or
wthout much of a pause. For most of us, though, tap s ess of a cardovascuar
workout. Tap aso teaches baance and coordnaton and, f you do t ong
enough, t w strengthen your stomach musces.
4. ceng fans are set on fu bast and sasa musc fs the ar as dance
nstructor Mara Torres stands n the center of the room, keepng tme for the
40 hp-swveng (and persprng) coupes that move around her. "Peope dont
reaze theyre workng out, because theyre havng so much fun", sad Maras
husband, Edde. "When you get to the ntermedate eves, thats when you
reay stat sweatng", he sad "You need a change of shrt, towe, and water
botte".
5. Swng dancng can be an entertanng way to get n shape. "Its not soatng
or repettous, ke rdng a bke or runnng", says Bronwen Carson, drector of a
dance schoo. "Swng has so many dfferent moves, you cant get bored".
Bruno Bernardo, a dance nstructor, adds that asde from the exercse benefts,
"partner dancng s a way for peope to meet others. Its a nce way to break
the ce".
6. There are so many dfferent types of baroom dancng that amost anyone
can beneft from one of them. A foxtrot or sow watz, for nstance, may be |ust
the thng f you cant move we because of an n|ury or years of watchng TV. A
samba, on the other hand, s a good workout even for an athete. And because
baroom dancng nvoves a partner, t works the arms --- soo dancng usuay
ony works the egs.

,riental dance5
A dance for the whole family.
1. Athough many westerners thnk of bey dancng as a dance performed by a
woman for a mae audence, ths s not the case. Orenta dance, the correct
name for bey dancng, dd not actuay orgnate as a dance by women for
men.
2. For centures, the roe of Orenta dance n Mdde Eastern socety has been
that of a fok dance that peope woud do at |oyous occasons such as
weddngs, the brth of a chd, communty festvas, and other events that brng
peope together to ceebrate. It was a dance that men, women, and chdren
dd for fun, not a "performance" done to entertan an audence.
3. After the seventh century, peope began to ve n segregated househods.
The men ved on one sde of the house, and the women ved wth the chdren
on the other sde.
4. Even when there were festve occasons, the women woud ceebrate wth
other women, and the men woud have a separate party wth other men. Woud
have a separate party wth other men. Hstorcay, the two genders dd not
mx. In fact, n some countres, ths s st true today.
5. On speca occasons, the women woud meet n the afternoon, after feedng
the men the bg mea of the day. The women gathered to en|oy some tme
together n the homes of ther ssters, aunts, cousns, frends, or grandmothers.
At these nforma get- togethers, they mght take turns gettng up and dancng
for each other. Ths was one way that the mother of marrageabe young men
coud get to know the egbe young women of the communty.
6. There was generay no speca dance "costume" to wear --- peope smpy
danced n ther party cothes, |ust as we mght dress up a tte for our own
frends weddngs. Dance was not seen as somethng to be "performed" by a
professona --- t was |ust somethng peope got up and dd spontaneousy.
7. Today professona dancers perform at nghtcubs and are often hred to
entertan at weddngs and other speca occasons. However, for Mdde Eastern
peope, the dance remans somethng that peope of a ages do for fun when
they get together wth frends and famy.

Observng mysef and the TIPS that fowed out of
my hearts mouth between a choreography or a
technca expanaton,
here are some of the PRINCIPLES of ths NEW MENTALITY that are the BASE of everythng I am
and teach n the Orenta Dance Word*:

1. Orenta Dance s not about vanty, ego trps, desre to pease others or serve ther
fantases. It s a about persona growth and eterna sef-exporaton and reconstructon.
2. Lovng yoursef - as we as others - s a MUST for whoever wshes to go deep nto
Orenta Dance. Wthout sef-ove and respect we cannot be FREE, CREATIVE, DARING,
CHARISMATIC accordng to our own energy and stand n Lfe. Wthout LOVE we cannot shne -
not n dance, nether n Lfe.
3. Its essenta do see other peope and Lfe - n genera - as co-creators of our own path n
Dance. Stop ookng at others as competton and envy matera. They are human bengs - |ust
ke you - wth ther own mtatons, taents, tras and trbuatons. Be com-passonate towards
others and LEARN from them, nstead of assumng a defensve and sma mnded atttude. A
great dancer s aways a great observer and a over of LIFE (remember Lfe s the matera of
whch Dance s made of).
4. Be curous. About other dancers, art forms, traveng, Lterature - you name t.
Inspratons are everywhere; nspraton trggers are everywhere; answers to your questons are
everywhere. LOOK out for a of them n the most expected AND unexpected paces.
5. Work hard; party hard. Never assume that ntuton and natura taents make up for ack
of work study and serous commtment n the dance study. They dont. Take casses, practce as
much as possbe, see good dance vdeos and documentares, read about dance, research: then
agan: BE CURIOUS. Taent fourshes wth constant and perseverant work.
6. Dont take yoursef too serous and be patent wth your own mnd, heart, body and sou
rythms of earnng. Each sde of your Beng has ts own tme of dgeston and you cannot rush
them nto earnng as fast and effcenty as you woud wsh for. Tme s a Master; Patence and
acceptance towards yoursef are too.
7. Deveop Character and backbone. Great dancers are strong, wse, perseverant, humbe
and sef-confdent and they earn and nsst on wnnng over obstaces/dffcutes/chaenges
when most peope woud qut. CHARACTER and nner strength s as mportant as a the
technque and more down to earth data you can gather; t w aow you to grow consstenty and
never set up for |ust average.
8. Reaze that Dance and Lfe are deepy nterconnected so what you are as a PERSON w
refect n your dance (and who you become n your dance w refect who you become n your
fe). A the nsde matera you use to nterpret musc (your personaty, fe experences,
thoughts, feengs, sou, sensatons, vew on fe - hghs and ows) w be ceary shown once you
start to dance, specay when youre mprovsng. So make sure your nner word s rch,
beautfu, honest, as cean as possbe from a the thoughts, feengs and tendences that dont
brng LIGHT and |OY to yoursef and/or others.
9. See Orenta Dance as a |ourney where the arrva s not the most mportant thng. Yep: t
sounds ke a cch but ts true: Dance and Lfe are a about the PATH, the |OURNEY and ess
about the arrva.
10. Do not compete wth your dance coeagues. If you observe them, do so wth the curous
eyes of ove and earn from them. No one can take your pace n dance or n the word. Every
person s UNIOUE and rrepaceabe n hs/her own way. Trust yoursef and your unque gfts - no
one can stea and effcenty copy who you are and the speca way you fee and nterpret the
musc.
11. Say No to the Cone machne factory. Copes are aways a second best sad attempt at
success and they never go far. Ths tendency may serve the ego of many teachers who wsh to
create cones of themseves n order to perpetuate ther name, franchsng busness and ego but
they do not serve the HIGHER purpose of ART: BEING YOURSELF - CREATING YOURSELF -
DIGGING n the GIFTS you have nsde and sharng them through dance.
12. En|oy, fee peasure, be HAPPY whe youre studyng dance, practcng, choreographng,
teachng or performng. Thnk about t: t s a prvege to be abe to move your heathy body (so
many peope cannot do t) and earn an ancent dance that has survved throughout centures of
persecutons, gnorance and bannng.
13. Support other dancers as you wsh they woud support you. It may seem strange at frst
but you w fnd out that supportng others s supportng yoursef. We are nothng but an ebb of
tte connected dots who w meet - somehow, someway - when we east expect t. What you do
for others w return to you ke a far boomerang - so make sure what you throw s what you
wsh to receve (thats the magc of ths Unverses mathematcs).
14. Chersh ALL your teachers wth respect, tenderness and grattude. They are the doors
that aow you to dscover new words nsde and outsde yoursef.
15. Dare to be DIFFERENT, out of the reguar pattern. Be creatve n ways that aow you to
fa, make mstakes and then some more. The more you fa the more chances you have of
succeedng. Fear of faure s the n 1 cause of frustrated dreams.
16. Aow the Insde |ob of your Beng to be done. Orenta Dance s about RE-CONNECTING
( religare =regon). Aow and re|oce n the process of coordnatng your mnd wth your
heart; your body wth your sou.
17. Breathe deepy and conscousy as many tmes as you can. A reconnecton starts there:
nsprng and exprng wth ntentona ove-awareness.
18. LISTEN. Take tme to earn smpy to LISTEN - even before MOVING a fnger. Dance starts
n SILENCE, then MUSIC, THEN MOVEMENT. Dancng wthout LISTENING s ke tryng to fy
wthout wngs.
19. Honour past dancers and a the references that contrbuted to your dance educaton and
nspraton. Acknowedge everyone and everythng that feeds you creatvey so that food for the
sou expands and mutpes.
20. Never sette for what you aready know. Ask, search, be humbe to know how much you
dont know yet. Ths w keep you growng endessy. Remember: arrogance s the terrtory of
the sma mnded, nsecure and weak.
21. Be THANKFUL. For beng yoursef, for beng ALIVE; for beng abe to dance; for your
Teacher and a the treasures he/she unraves for you; for breathng and feeng the sun on your
face on any gven mornng. Those are not thngs we shoud take for granted: those are gfts ony
avaabe

/n6oyin) ballet.
1. t s very odd that no one s afrad of the word "dance" and no one woud
ob|ect to the phrase "ets go dancng", but menton "baet" and peope start
companng. These soca pre|udces come from severa msconceptons and
from certan hstorc facts. Baet s the Western theatrca dance form that
deveoped over a perod of four centures. It has aways depended upon
government or roya support for ts fe. In more modern tmes, ths support
came from weathy peope who attend the baet n beautfu theatres n some
of the words great ctes.
Peope have therefore come to see baet as a cutura form, unfamar to
anyone who does not come from a partcuar cass. Over tme , baet has
deveoped ts own anguage, one that many ordnary peope do not
understand. Beng a baet dancer nvoves seven years of very dffcut tranng
from an eary age, yet anyone can dance at a soca gatherng, gven a certan
amount of effort and desre. The physca mage of both mae and femae
dancers s very styzed, and costumng s so unnatura n many cases, wth ts
tghts, sppers, and tutus. For these reasons, t s not possbe for the genera
pubc to have the knd of dentfcaton wth a baet dancer that they often fee
for an actor, fm star, or athete.
2. t s aso strange that a vsua art that speaks drecty to the eye, n the same
way a soccer match or an Oympc gymnastc contest does, st makes peope
apprehensve. Too often peope stay away from baet because they thnk they
w not "understand" t. However, they never seem to fnd ths probem when
they watch popuar ce dance champonshp on teevson. Nor are they afrad
to express ther opnons and sometmes dsagree wth the |udges decsons.
Peope en|oy watchng sports because they en|oy ts physca darng. They
apprecate athetes superby condtoned bodes workng at maxmum
effcency. If peope ony ooked at dancng ---- any form of dancng --- n the
same way they apprecate sports, there woud be fewer pre|udces to
overcome.
3. t s better to ook at dancng wth a competey untraned eye. If you ask
questons and ook for meanngs, you w ose the great deght n seeng
beautfu bodes, beautfuy traned, performng beautfu movement.
Understandng w come wth experence, but your understandng w be of
tte vaue f you do not en|oy what you are watchng.
