The Belly Dance Geek Clubhouse

Belly Dance Geekbellydancegeek.com
The Clubhouse is a show where dancers can get together and geek out on all the things that are hard to get in classes and videos. If you want help with the "what": moves, combos, and choreographies, there are lots of classes and videos available. But if you want to learn about the "why" and "how": business, composition, ethics, culture, musicality... well, those are a lot harder to find. So in every episode, I interview a different guest expert on a different geeky topic. If you think knowledge & creativity go together like chocolate & peanut butter - you're in the right place!
