The business of Bellydance with Žana

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.
