Welcome to Belly Dance Geek®

About Us

Most people think that dance and geekery are opposites.

After all, belly dancers are graceful and creative, and geeks are awkward and analytical, right?

But knowledge and creativity are like chocolate and peanut butter.

When you put them together, the results are delicious!

Not just another choreography

Most dance instruction feeds you moves and choreographies to copy.

Here at Belly Dance Geek®, we geek out on how the dance works, so you can create it for yourself.

Meet the team…

Nadira Has Retired

As of November 2022, I have decided to officially retire and wind down Belly Dance Geek®.

Our products, podcasts, articles, and other resources WILL stay available – read on below!

But we no longer have any plans to create any new content or run our group courses for the foreseeable future.

Is this goodbye forever?

Never say never! Lots of dancers come out of retirement, and I still have tons of ideas.

But this phase is over. If we do reopen someday, it will be on very different terms.

Pay What You Want Pricing

Party horn

To celebrate my retirement and protect my legacy, we’re opening up the Belly Dance Geek® catalog.

The videos, courses, podcasts, and articles that I created represent more than a decade of my life. I want to protect that legacy and make sure that my work stays available to the dance community.

So I have decided to release our entire product line on a “pay what you want” basis.

You will be able to get any video, course, or training resource that we can offer as DIY products for as little as $1.

(A few of our offerings may not translate to a fully DIY format. We’re still evaluating whether we can find a way to make these available.)

Check out the offerings…

Permission for Classroom Use and Sharing Policy

I’ve also decided to grant permission for teachers to use my products in the classroom at no charge.

Creators can also use them in their own work, under some circumstances.

Want to teach your students some improv skills? You can play my Improvisation Toolkit videos in class.
 

Doing a class unit on full routines? You can use the entire Rock the Routine curriculum if you want.

Making a zils video? You can use one of my Lace patterns.

Some restrictions apply, and the terms may change over time, so be sure to read the full policy before each use.

Free Resources

Since 2006, I’ve also created over a hundred podcast episodes and dozens of articles, in addition to our products and services.

So if you want to geek out on how belly dance works, be sure to check out our podcasts and blog for tons more free resources.
