I am very happy to share my latest venture with you today.
A few months ago Kyria of the Netherlands contacted me (and several other dancers) to collaborate on a great project: We were asked to each send input for a set of free(!) printable affirmation cards for belly dancers, to help inspire and motivate in dance, dance practice, and life.

| Affirmation cards - download them here! |
Below you can find a link to download the set of free affirmations I've created for this project:

Using affirmations is a powerful and easy way to create 'positive input' for yourself, and it can have motivational effects that last throughout your day.
I used to write my affirmations down into my journal, to start my dance days 'right', but now I simply use the cards we've created physically by printing out the sheet, cutting out the individual affirmations and including them into my journal pages.
We've created a digital treasure hunt so you get to visit every dancer's page to see how they used the affirmation cards and download their PDF file. There are five sheets of affirmations waiting for you to get started!
Check out the other dancer's belly dance affirmation sheets and websites below, as well as Kyria's Blog for tips on how to create a beautiful 'card deck' out of them.
Kyria
Falling in love with the music and movements of belly dance is what
got Kyria started, inspiring her students by teaching belly dance is
what keeps her going. She is available for classes, workshops and
performances in the Utrecht area in The Netherlands. After teaching
weekly classes for over a decade she figured it was time to reach out to
dancers all over the world and offer resources to students, teachers
and performers on www.bellydanceresources.com. Her first Kickstarter
for Belly Dance Practice Dice will go live in February 2017.
Andalee
Andalee is an Oriental dancer and instructor from Durham, North
Carolina, now based in Montpellier, France. Her dance style is based in
Egyptian belly dance and American Cabaret belly dance. Her mission is to
promote belly dance as a respected and valid performance art. She
teaches her students that belly dance is truly accessible to anyone by
exploring the different techniques and styles of belly dance. In 2013,
Andalee founded Belly Dance at Any Size after learning about
size-acceptance and Health at Every Size. The website is a resource for
building self-esteem and a positive body image for belly dancers.
Khalida
Khalida is a multi-award winning professional belly dance performer
and instructor, born in Belgium and living in Germany. She currently
offers personal coaching, instructional dvd’s and workshops as well as
high-quality performances. In August 2017 she hosts the first Movespiration
congress in Wurselen, Germany. The goal of this weekend is to share her
biggest discoveries, learnings and inspirations of the past year(s) in
dance and movement in the form of a 2-day movement and dance intensive,
featuring guest classes/workshops from teachers from different movement
disciplines/arts, as well as personalized (belly)dance technique and movement guidance.
Mao Murakami
Mao Murakami is the founder of a DIY belly dance costume website, Sparkly Belly, where belly dancers can learn to sew and DIY their own costumes, even if they are new to sewing!
She turned her love of belly dance and costumes into one website,
empowering belly dancers with sewing and DIY skills, and help them feel beautiful and confident on stage. What’s belly dancing without sparkly costumes that celebrate your uniquely beautiful body?
Check out her free tutorials (65 of them and counting!) at SparklyBelly.com.
