Epic music for theatrical pieces. Samsara by Roya
I know most of the music I let my readers know about is free, but this music is so epic that I had to blog about it and let you know that it is worth the money.
It is perfect for a really theatrical drama filled dance piece. I had a conversation with a friend with the music playing in the background and it made everything we said seem epic and profound.

Biodegradable glitter? It's really a thing!

Do certain instruments encourage the same belly dance moves in all dancers?
Have you ever wondered if certain sounds illicit the same motivations to move for all dancers? I am sure you have noticed that big, deep drum beats tend to get big, juicy, earthy moves from most people. But does this hold true over a large group or is it just a chance occurrence?
