Geek Out with Zahra Zuhair – Again!

 

Finding Your Creative Genius

Belly Dance Geek Clubhouse Episode 61:
My guest, Zahra Zuhair, will talk about “Letting The Genie Out Of The Bottle” and how to find your own creative path.
 
 

 
Part of being a dance artist is the almost inevitable struggle with feeling “stuck in a rut.” We find ourselves lost in a sea of gigs and new dance trends; so busy trying to emulate specific styles, make everything “perfect,” or cultivate a look that we ignore our personal muse, leaving our creative well drained and us uninspired and listless.

Zahra will be joining us in the Clubhouse to suggest some ways dancers can find their own creative genius and get unstuck.
 

You’ll learn:

• Why we have creative blocks
• Evaluating your needs and abundances
• How Social Media affects creativity
• About perfectionism and how it interacts with creativity
• How you can find your Genie

 
We’ll also have some discussion time, so you can ask Zahra your questions.
